💡 Summary
Vani is a dependency-free UI runtime focused on explicit updates and fine-grained state management.
🎯 Target Audience
🤖 AI Roast: “Powerful, but the setup might scare off the impatient.”
Risk: Low. Review: shell/CLI command execution; outbound network access (SSRF, data egress); dependency pinning and supply-chain risk. Run with least privilege and audit before enabling in production.
Vani
Rendering should be explicit, local, and predictable.
Vani is a small, dependency-free UI runtime. It is runtime-first and DOM-anchored, with explicit updates and opt-in fine-grained state.
Core principles
- Explicit updates (no hidden re-rendering)
- Subtree ownership via anchors
- Runtime-first, no compiler
- Opt-in signals for fine-grained updates
- Ref-based and Ref-free DOM subtree access on mount.
Installation
pnpm add @vanijs/vani # or npm install @vanijs/vani # or yarn add @vanijs/vani # or bun add @vanijs/vani # or deno add @vanijs/vani
