A thin, full-stack, web framework.
Features:
- Portable HTML, CSS and JS, thanks to Lit (SSR).
- Highly responsive during dev. and build, thanks to Vite.
- Minimal dependency footprint for its runtime and your distributable.
- Embrace web standards like Custom Elements (aka Web Components) or the WhatWG Fetch API.
- A streamlined Developer eXperience for building, instead of fiddling around.
Bootstrap a project with the create gracile@latest command:
npm create gracile@latest
pnpm create gracile@latest
bun create gracile@latest
yarn create gracile@latest
For more information, head over to the documentation website (gracile.js.org).
Gracile is powered by Vite and Lit SSR.
With it, you can achieve:
- File-based routing
- Server Side Rendering
- Static Site Generation
- Server integration (
Request/Response) for Express - Full-stack Custom Elements (Lit), with hydration
- Content websites
- Multi or Single Page Applications
- Progressive enhancements
- And more, via Add-ons (Markdown, Metadata, SVG…)
All that, with a few conventions, a standard-oriented approach and a very contained footprint 🤏.
Web Components, TypeScript, SASS, Lit, and other DX perks are all at your fingertips; while remaining optional.
Thanks to the Vite modular architecture, and Node.js versatility, developer experience is smoothed up across the board, while in development and when building for production.
