A library that enables tag shortcuts for the Composi h function. Less than 50 lines of code, taking your hyperscripting to the next level.
// Instead of writing,
h('div')
// write:
div()
// Instead of writing,
h('section' {id: 'main'}, mainContents)
// write:
section({id: 'main'}, mainContents)With taggers:
- You get errors if you misspell a tag name, because they are function names.
- You have a consistent syntax at all times, because it's just functions.

First import taggers. It's a default export so you can name the import whatever works for you. Here we'll call it hyperscript.
You need to pass the Composi h function to the imported taggers function. That's so that taggers will use h when it creates the virtual nodes:
Using ES6:
import {h} from 'composi'
import {taggers} from 'taggers'
// Pass 'h' to taggers:
const {h1, nav, header} = taggers(h)
// Use the tags you've imported:
const Header = header({},
nav({},
h1({title: 'The Great Title'},'The Title')
)
)
// <header><nav><h1 title='The Great Title'>The Title</h1></nav></header>From the above example, it should be noted that tags expect two arguments: props and children. If the tag will have no props, you can pass an empty object or null:
import {h} from 'composi'
import {taggers} from 'taggers'
const {div} = taggers(h)
// Use the 'div' function:
const element = div({}, 'Some content')
// <div>Some content</div>
// or:
const element = div(null, 'Some content')
// <div>Some content</div>You can create a tag with properties but no children by providing only the first argument:
import {h} from 'composi'
import {taggers} from 'taggers'
const {div} = taggers(h)
const element = div({id: 'whatever'})
// <div id='whatever'></div>If you want to create an empty tag, just call the tag function without paramters:
import {h} from 'composi'
import {taggers} from 'taggers'
const {div} = taggers(h)
const element = div()
// <div></div>
