SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

STX templating is the go-to for building reactive, component-based templates in Stacks apps, solving the challenge of writing scalable, maintainable front-end templates without vanilla JS.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reactive signals and components
  • Directives for behavior and lifecycle
  • STX templates integrated with Stacks tooling for rapid UI development
  • Use Case: Build a dynamic dashboard with STX templates that react to data changes in real-time.

Quick Start

Install or configure your project to enable STX templating and start writing .stx templates for components.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build reactive UI components in Stacks apps without writing vanilla JS?

STX templating enables reactive, component-based front-end templates in Stacks apps using signals and directives. It solves the challenge of writing scalable, maintainable UIs without vanilla JS by binding data changes directly to template behavior.

How do I configure STX templating and load the necessary plugins for my project?

Configuring STX templating requires setting up the bunfig.toml file and loading the bun-plugin-stx plugin. This environment setup enables .stx template parsing and allows you to start writing reactive components immediately.

What are reactive signals and directives in STX templates?

Reactive signals and directives in STX templates are mechanisms that drive UI behavior and component lifecycles. Signals track state changes while directives apply behaviors, ensuring the template dynamically updates when underlying data changes.

Can I use STX templates to build a dynamic dashboard that updates in real-time?

Yes, STX templates are designed for building dynamic dashboards that react to data changes in real-time. By leveraging reactive signals, the UI components automatically update their displayed content whenever the underlying application state changes.

Does STX templating work with Bun tooling for frontend development?

STX templating integrates directly with Stacks tooling and Bun via the bun-plugin-stx plugin. This integration allows developers to rapidly develop front-end UIs by writing .stx templates that are processed within the Bun build ecosystem.
