template netlify app

A template for applications using preact, htm, typescript, and netlify as host. Use tape-run for tests in a browser environment.

See template-ts-preact-htm-app for the same thing, but not using netlify.

See template-ts-preact-htm for something similar but for dependency modules.

architecture

See this article for more details about application architecture.

We create application state and logic in the file ./src/state.ts. This exports static functions, creates a state object, and sets up URL routing.

In the view code, you would call the functions exposed in state with a state instance in response to application events.
