Question 1

How do I use nanohtml with Webpack?

Accepted Answer

Currently, there's no official Webpack loader for nanohtml—the README mentions a contribution is welcome. For now, consider using Browserify, Babel with the nanohtml plugin, or Rollup as alternative bundlers.

Question 2

Can nanohtml handle hydration for server-side rendered content?

Accepted Answer

Nanohtml supports server-side rendering via string concatenation in Node, but it doesn't provide built-in hydration. You'll need to manually reattach event listeners or integrate with libraries like nanomorph for client-side updates.

Question 3

Is nanohtml faster than React?

Accepted Answer

Nanohtml is lightweight and can be faster for simple DOM creation due to minimal overhead. However, React's virtual DOM might optimize complex, dynamic UIs better, so performance depends on the use case.

Question 4

How to add conditional classes in nanohtml?

Accepted Answer

Use JavaScript objects for conditional attributes in template strings. For example, interpolate `${isActive ? { class: 'active' } : {}}` to conditionally apply classes based on state.

Question 5

Does nanohtml support JSX?

Accepted Answer

No, nanohtml uses template string syntax instead of JSX. You write HTML directly within backticks, which avoids transpilation steps but may require adjustment if you're used to JSX.

Question 6

What are the best alternatives to nanohtml?

Accepted Answer

Alternatives include hyperHTML or lit-html for similar template-based approaches, or larger frameworks like React and Vue for more features. Nanohtml is ideal for minimalism and dual-environment support, but others offer richer ecosystems.
