Zag
Finite state machines for building accessible design systems and UI components. Works with modern frameworks, and even just Vanilla JS
Overview
Zag is a JavaScript API that implements common component patterns using the state machine methodology. It focuses on accessibility, providing adapters for JS frameworks like React, Solid, or Vue. Zag is built on top of the latest ideas in Statecharts, giving developers the control to use any styling solution they prefer. With Zag, developers can avoid the endless re-implementation of common component patterns in multiple frameworks and benefit from lightweight, simple, and easy-to-understand machines.
Features
- Write once, use everywhere: The component interactions are modelled in a framework agnostic way, allowing developers to reuse code across different frameworks.
- Focus on accessibility: Zag is built with accessibility in mind, handling keyboard interactions, focus management, aria roles and attributes to ensure components are accessible.
- Headless: The machine APIs are completely unstyled, giving developers the freedom to use any styling solution they prefer.
- Powered by state machines: Zag is built on the latest ideas in Statecharts, providing a solid foundation for building complex components quickly.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Solid
SolidJS is a declarative JavaScript library for building user interfaces, offering a reactive programming model for efficient updates. It stands out for its reactivity system that minimizes unnecessary re-renders and its small bundle size, making it a performant choice for developing lightweight and reactive web applications.
- Vite
Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects
- Vue
Vue.js is a lightweight and flexible JavaScript framework that allows developers to easily build dynamic and reactive user interfaces. Its intuitive syntax, modular architecture, and focus on performance make it a popular choice for modern web development.
- UI Kits & Components
A UI kit provides developers with a set of reusable components that can be easily integrated into a website or application. These components are pre-designed with consistent styling and functionality, allowing developers to save time and effort in the design and development process. UI kits can be either custom-built or third-party, and often include components for buttons, forms, typography, icons, and more.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
