vdom

A DOM render and patch algorithm for vtree

Motivation

Given a vtree structure representing a DOM structure, we would like to either render the structure to a DOM node using vdom/create-element or we would like to update the DOM using the results of vtree/diff by patching the DOM with vdom/patch

Example

var h = require("virtual-dom/h")
var diff = require("virtual-dom/diff")

var createElement = require("virtual-dom/create-element")
var patch = require("virtual-dom/patch")

var leftNode = h("div")
var rightNode = h("text")

// Render the left node to a DOM node
var rootNode = createElement(leftNode)
document.body.appendChild(rootNode)

// Update the DOM with the results of a diff
var patches = diff(leftNode, rightNode)
patch(rootNode, patches)

Installation

npm install virtual-dom
