h()creates a virtual DOM node (VNode) that gets rendered.text()turns a string into a VNode.app()initializes a Hyperapp app and mounts it.memo()creates a special VNode that is lazily rendered.
- State represents your application's data.
- Views represent your state visually.
- Actions cause state transitions and trigger effects.
- Effects are triggered by actions to interact with external processes.
- Subscriptions dispatch actions in response to external events.
- Dispatch controls action dispatching.
Flowchart showing the general flow of a hyperapp app.
- Action: An app behavior that transitions state and invokes effects.
- Action Descriptor: A tuple representing an action with its payload.
- Component: A view with a specific purpose.
- Dispatch Function: The process that executes actions, applies state, and calls effects.
- Dispatch Initializer: A function that controls dispatch.
- Effect: A generalized encapsulation of an external process.
- Effecter: A function that carries out an effect.
- Event Payload: A payload specific to an event.
- Memoization: In Hyperapp, the delayed rendering of VNodes.
- Mount Node: The DOM element that holds the app.
- Payload: Data given to an action.
- State: The unified set of data your Hyperapp application uses and maintains.
- State Transition: An evolutionary step for the state.
- Subscriber: A function that carries out a subscription.
- Subscription: A binding between the app and external events.
- Top-Level View: The main view which is given the state.
- VDOM: The virtual DOM, an in-memory representation for the DOM of the current page.
- View: A function describing the desired DOM, represented by a VNode, as a function of the current state.
- Wrapped Action: An action that is returned by another action.
