Spaic

Single Page Application, In C++

Read like spike.

Basic Idea

1. Emscripten let we compile C++ to WASM

2. We can write CSS in C++ like these syntax:

   auto greater_than_10 = css(
       backgroundColor = red,
       color = white,
   );

3. We can write React-like Component in C++ like these syntax:

   #include <spaic/Prelude.hpp>
   
   namespace props::app {
       auto is_dark = fallback<bool>(false);
   
       auto all = prop_set(is_dark);
   }
   namespace state::app {
       State<int> count;
   
       auto all = state_set(count);
   }
   namespace msg {
       Message<int> increment;
       Message<int> decrement;
   }
   ShouldRender update() {
       using namespace state::app;
       using namespace msg;
       if (increment) {
           count += increment.get<0>();
           return true;
       }
       if (decrement) {
           count -= decrement.get<0>();
           return true;
       }
       return false;
   }
   Node render() {
       return (
           div(
               className = (count > 10 && greater_than_10)
           )({
               "Hello! Your counter is ",
               count,
               button(onClick = increment(1))({
                   "+1"
               }),
               button(onClick = decrement(1))({
                   "-1"
               })
           })
       );
   }
   
   auto app = create_component(
       props::app::all,
       state::app::all,
   
       update,
       render
   );
