The Lucia.js project is no longer maintained or usable, this repository serves as an archive for the source code. If you used Lucia.js, thank you for trying our the library in your projects. I hope this repository serves as a useful learning tool for others in the future. Note that the lucia NPM package name has been transfered to the lucia-auth project.

3kb library for tiny web apps.

Sometimes, all you want to do is to try and do something—no boilerplate, bundlers, or complex build processes. Lucia aims to provide an augmentation layer for your logic, allowing you to bind attributes to your HTML to add interactivity without writing any extra JavaScript.

Installing Lucia

Lucia doesn't require build tools by default. Feel free to just drop a script tag in the head of your webpage.

<!-- Development version: helpful console tips -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/lucia"></script>

<!-- Production version: no warnings -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/lucia/dist/lucia.min.js"></script>

It also integrates well with module bundlers like Webpack or Rollup; we recommend specifying the exact build if you import Lucia this way.

Todo App Example

Below is an extremely simple implementation of a todo app using Lucia, utilizing zero JavaScript. Tasks can be added by submitting the form with the input. No, your eyes aren't fooling you—it's really that simple.

<div l-state="{ value: '', todo: [] }">
  <!-- oninput: set `value` to input.value -->
  <input l-model="value" />
  <!-- onclick: add the current `value` to the `todo` array -->
  <button @click="todo.push(value)">Create</button>
  <!-- joins `todo` array together -->
  <ul l-for="task in todo">
    <li l-text="this.task"></li>
  </ul>
</div>
