JSlop docs

Welcome. These docs cover the currently implemented surface of JSlop. Aspirational features (server functions, schema forms, local-first collections, devtools) are tracked in PLAN.md and TODO.md — they aren’t documented here yet because they don’t exist yet.

Start here

1. Introduction — what JSlop is and the mental model in 60 seconds.
2. Getting started — install, run the examples, write your first component.
3. Project structure — package.json, vite.config.mjs, where files go.

Authoring .jslop files

4. Components — component, prop, state, let, function, view.
5. Template syntax — tags, attributes, text interpolation, <children/>.
6. Logic blocks — {#if}, {#each}, keyed reconciliation.
7. Events — on* handlers, inline mutations, component callbacks.
8. Bindings — bind:value, bind:checked.
9. Styling — class={...}, global CSS, Tailwind v4.

Apps

10. Routing — file-system routes, dynamic [param] segments, layouts, 404.
11. SSR & resumability — how state survives the network without re-rendering.
12. Building & deploying — the two-pass production build and @jslop/node-adapter.

Reference

• Reactivity — cell, derived, effect, batch, untrack, scopes.
• Cheatsheet — every construct in one page.
• FAQ — comparisons with Svelte / React / Solid / Qwik, common gotchas.
• Roadmap — what’s done, what’s next, what’s out of scope.

For contributors

• Internals/ — architecture, package layout, request flow. Not required to ship apps.

In a hurry? The whole DSL fits on one screen — see the cheatsheet. For everything else, the FAQ is probably faster than skimming the guide.
