sigpro Svelte Themes

Sigpro

Lightweight Zero-dependency reactivity with signals, effects, and web components. No compilation, no virtual DOMβ€”just pure JavaScript that embraces the platform.

SigPro πŸš€

A minimalist reactive library for building web interfaces with signals, effects, and native web components. No compilation, no virtual DOM, just pure JavaScript and intelligent reactivity.

❓ Why?

After years of building applications with React, Vue, and Svelteβ€”investing countless hours mastering their unique mental models, build tools, and update cyclesβ€”I kept circling back to the same realization: no matter how sophisticated the framework, it all eventually compiles down to HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. The web platform has evolved tremendously, yet many libraries continue to reinvent the wheel, creating parallel universes with their own rules, their own syntaxes, and their own steep learning curves.

SigPro is my answer to a simple question: Why fight the platform when we can embrace it?

Modern browsers now offer powerful primitivesβ€”Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, CSS custom properties, and microtask queuesβ€”that make true reactivity possible without virtual DOM diffing, without compilers, and without lock-in. SigPro strips away the complexity, delivering a reactive programming model that feels familiar but stays remarkably close to vanilla JS. No JSX transformations, no template compilers, no proprietary syntax to learnβ€”just functions, signals, and template literals that work exactly as you'd expect.

What emerged is a library that proves we've reached a turning point: the web is finally mature enough that we don't need to abstract it anymore. We can build reactive, component-based applications using virtually pure JavaScript, leveraging the platform's latest advances instead of working against them. SigPro isn't just another frameworkβ€”it's a return to fundamentals, showing that the dream of simple, powerful reactivity is now achievable with the tools browsers give us out of the box.

"Stop fighting the platform. Start building with it."

πŸ“¦ Installation

npm install sigpro

or

bun add sigpro

or more simple:

copy "sigpro.js" file where you want to use it.

🎯 Philosophy

SigPro (Signal Professional) embraces the web platform. Built on top of Custom Elements and reactive proxies, it offers a development experience similar to modern frameworks but with a minimal footprint and zero dependencies.

Core Principles:

  • πŸ“‘ True Reactivity - Automatic dependency tracking, no manual subscriptions
  • ⚑ Surgical Updates - Only the exact nodes that depend on changed values are updated
  • 🧩 Web Standards - Built on Custom Elements, no custom rendering engine
  • 🎨 Intuitive API - Learn once, use everywhere
  • πŸ”¬ Predictable - No magic, just signals and effects

πŸ’‘ Hint for VS Code

For the best development experience with SigPro, install these VS Code extensions:

  • Prettier – Automatically formats your template literals for better readability
  • lit-html – Adds syntax highlighting, autocompletion, and inline HTML color previews inside html tagged templates

This combination gives you framework-level developer experience without the framework complexityβ€”syntax highlighting, color previews, and automatic formatting for your reactive templates, all while writing pure JavaScript.

// With lit-html extension, this gets full syntax highlighting and color previews!
html`
  <div style="color: #ff4444; background: linear-gradient(45deg, blue, green)">
    <h1>Beautiful highlighted template</h1>
  </div>

πŸ“š API Reference


$(initialValue) - Signals

Creates a reactive value that notifies dependents when changed.

Basic Signal (Getter/Setter)

import { $ } from 'sigpro';

// Create a signal
const count = $(0);

// Read value (outside reactive context)
console.log(count()); // 0

// Write value
count(5);
count(prev => prev + 1); // Use function for previous value

// Read with dependency tracking (inside effect)
$e(() => {
  console.log(count()); // Will be registered as dependency
});

Computed Signal

import { $, $e } from 'sigpro';

const firstName = $('John');
const lastName = $('Doe');

// Computed signal - automatically updates when dependencies change
const fullName = $(() => `${firstName()} ${lastName()}`);

console.log(fullName()); // "John Doe"

firstName('Jane');
console.log(fullName()); // "Jane Doe"

// Computed signals cache until dependencies change
const expensiveComputation = $(() => {
  console.log('Computing...');
  return firstName().length + lastName().length;
});

console.log(expensiveComputation()); // "Computing..." 7
console.log(expensiveComputation()); // 7 (cached, no log)

Signal with Custom Equality

import { $ } from 'sigpro';

const user = $({ id: 1, name: 'John' });

// Signals use Object.is comparison
user({ id: 1, name: 'John' }); // Won't trigger updates (same values, new object)
user({ id: 1, name: 'Jane' }); // Will trigger updates

Parameters:

  • initialValue: Initial value or getter function for computed signal

Returns: Function that acts as getter/setter with the following signature:

type Signal<T> = {
  (): T;  // Getter
  (value: T | ((prev: T) => T)): void;  // Setter
}

πŸ’Ύ $$(key, initialValue, [storage]) - Persistent Signal

Signal that automatically syncs with localStorage or sessionStorage.

Basic Persistent State

import { $$ } from 'sigpro';

// Automatically saves to localStorage
const theme = $$('theme', 'light');
const user = $$('user', null);

theme('dark'); // Saved to localStorage
// Page refresh... theme() returns 'dark'

Session Storage

// Use sessionStorage instead
const tempData = $$('temp', {}, sessionStorage);

Real-World Example

import { $$, html } from 'sigpro';

// User preferences persist across sessions
const settings = $$('app-settings', {
  darkMode: false,
  fontSize: 16,
  language: 'en'
});

// Auto-saves on any change
const toggleDarkMode = () => {
  settings({
    ...settings(),
    darkMode: !settings().darkMode
  });
};

const view = html`
  <div class="${() => settings().darkMode ? 'dark' : 'light'}">
    <button @click=${toggleDarkMode}>
      Toggle Dark Mode
    </button>
    <span>Current: ${() => settings().darkMode ? 'πŸŒ™' : 'β˜€οΈ'}</span>
  </div>
`;

Shopping Cart Example

import { $$, html } from 'sigpro';

const cart = $$('shopping-cart', []);

const addToCart = (item) => {
  cart([...cart(), item]);
};

const CartView = html`
  <div>
    <h3>Cart (${() => cart().length} items)</h3>
    <ul>
      ${() => cart().map(item => html`
        <li>${item.name} - $${item.price}</li>
      `)}
    </ul>
    <button @click=${() => cart([])}>Clear Cart</button>
  </div>
`;

Auto-Cleanup

// Remove from storage when value is null/undefined
$$('temp', null); // Removes 'temp' from storage

Parameters:

  • key: Storage key name
  • initialValue: Default value if none stored
  • storage: Storage type (default: localStorage, options: sessionStorage)

Returns: Signal function that persists to storage on changes


$e(effect) - Effects

Executes a function and automatically re-runs it when its dependencies change.

Basic Effect

import { $, $e } from 'sigpro';

const count = $(0);
const name = $('World');

// Effect runs immediately and on dependency changes
$e(() => {
  console.log(`Count is: ${count()}`); // Only depends on count
});
// Log: "Count is: 0"

count(1);
// Log: "Count is: 1"

name('Universe'); // No log (name is not a dependency)

Effect with Cleanup

import { $, $e } from 'sigpro';

const userId = $(1);

$e(() => {
  const id = userId();
  let isSubscribed = true;
  
  // Simulate API subscription
  const subscription = api.subscribe(id, (data) => {
    if (isSubscribed) {
      console.log('New data:', data);
    }
  });
  
  // Return cleanup function
  return () => {
    isSubscribed = false;
    subscription.unsubscribe();
  };
});

userId(2); // Previous subscription cleaned up, new one created

Nested Effects

import { $, $e } from 'sigpro';

const show = $(true);
const count = $(0);

$e(() => {
  if (!show()) return;
  
  // This effect is nested inside the conditional
  // It will only be active when show() is true
  $e(() => {
    console.log('Count changed:', count());
  });
});

show(false); // Inner effect is automatically cleaned up
count(1);    // No log (inner effect not active)
show(true);  // Inner effect recreated, logs "Count changed: 1"

Manual Effect Control

import { $, $e } from 'sigpro';

const count = $(0);

// Stop effect manually
const stop = $e(() => {
  console.log('Effect running:', count());
});

count(1); // Log: "Effect running: 1"
stop();
count(2); // No log

Parameters:

  • effect: Function to execute. Can return a cleanup function

Returns: Function to stop the effect


πŸ“‘ $f(data, url, [loading]) - Fetch

Simple fetch wrapper with automatic JSON handling and optional loading signal. Perfect for API calls.

Basic Fetch

import { $, $f } from 'sigpro';

const userData = $(null);

// Simple POST request
const result = await $f('/api/users', { name: 'John' });

Fetch with Loading State

import { $, $f } from 'sigpro';

const loading = $(false);
const userData = $(null);

async function loadUser(id) {
  const data = await $f(`/api/users/${id}`, null, loading);
  if (data) userData(data);
}

// Loading() automatically toggles true/false
loadUser(123);

// In your UI
html`
  <div>
    ${() => loading() ? 'Loading...' : userData()?.name}
  </div>
`;

Error Handling

const data = await $f('/api/users', { id: 123 });
if (!data) {
  // Handle error silently (returns null on failure)
  console.error('Request failed');
}

Parameters:

  • url: Endpoint URL
  • data: Data to send (auto JSON.stringify'd)
  • loading: Optional signal function to track loading state

Returns: Promise<Object|null> - Parsed JSON response or null on error


πŸ”Œ $ws(url, [options]) - WebSocket

Reactive WebSocket wrapper with automatic reconnection and signal-based state management.

Basic WebSocket

import { $ws } from 'sigpro';

const socket = $ws('wss://echo.websocket.org');

// Reactive status (disconnected/connecting/connected/error)
socket.status() // 'connected'

// Incoming messages as reactive array
socket.messages() // ['Hello', 'World']

// Send messages
socket.send('Hello Server!');
socket.send({ type: 'ping', data: 'test' });

Auto-Reconnect Configuration

const socket = $ws('wss://api.example.com', {
  reconnect: true,              // Enable auto-reconnect
  maxReconnect: 5,               // Max attempts (default: 5)
  reconnectInterval: 1000        // Base interval in ms (uses exponential backoff)
});

Reactive UI Integration

import { $ws, html } from 'sigpro';

const chat = $ws('wss://chat.example.com');

const view = html`
  <div>
    <!-- Connection status -->
    <div class="status ${() => chat.status()}">
      Status: ${() => chat.status()}
    </div>
    
    <!-- Error display -->
    ${() => chat.error() ? html`<div class="error">Connection failed</div>` : ''}
    
    <!-- Messages list -->

    </ul>
    
    <!-- Send message -->
    <input :value=${() => ''} @keydown.enter=${(e) => {
      chat.send(e.target.value);
      e.target.value = '';
    }}/>
  </div>
`;

Manual Control

const socket = $ws('wss://api.example.com');

// Send data
socket.send({ action: 'subscribe', channel: 'updates' });

// Close connection manually
socket.close();

// Check connection status
if (socket.status() === 'connected') {
  // Do something
}

$c(tagName, setupFunction, observedAttributes) - Web Components

Creates Custom Elements with reactive properties. Uses Light DOM (no Shadow DOM) and a slot system based on node filtering.

Basic Component

import { $, $c, html } from 'sigpro';

$c('my-counter', (props, context) => {
  // props contains signals for each observed attribute
  // context: { slot, emit, host, onUnmount }
  
  const increment = () => {

  };
  
  return html`
    <div>
      <p>Value: ${props.value}</p>
      <button @click=${increment}>Increment</button>
      
      <!-- Slots: renders filtered child content -->
      ${context.slot()}
    </div>
  `;
}, ['value']); // Observed attributes

Usage:

<my-counter value="5">
  <span>β–Ό This is the default slot</span>
  <p>More content in the slot</p>
</my-counter>

<script>
  const counter = document.querySelector('my-counter');
  console.log(counter.value); // "5"
  counter.value = "10"; // Reactive update
</script>

Component with Named Slots

      <div class="content">
        ${slot()} <!-- Default slot (no name) -->
      </div>
      
      <div class="footer">
        ${slot('footer')} <!-- Named slot: footer -->
      </div>
    </div>
  `;
}, []);

Usage:

<my-card>
  <h3 slot="header">Card Title</h3>
  
  <p>This goes to default slot</p>
  <span>Also default slot</span>

  id="1" 
  text="Learn SigPro" 
  completed="false"
  @toggle=${(e) => console.log('Toggled:', e.detail)}
  @delete=${(e) => console.log('Deleted:', e.detail)}
></todo-item>

Component with Cleanup

import { $, $c, html, $e } from 'sigpro';

$c('timer-widget', (props, { onUnmount }) => {
  const seconds = $(0);
  
  // Effect with automatic cleanup
  $e(() => {
    const interval = setInterval(() => {
      seconds(s => s + 1);
    }, 1000);
    
    // Return cleanup function
    return () => clearInterval(interval);

Practical Example: Todo App Component

import { $, $c, html } from 'sigpro';

$c('todo-app', () => {
  const todos = $([]);
  const newTodo = $('');
  const filter = $('all');
  
  const addTodo = () => {
    if (newTodo().trim()) {
      todos([...todos(), { 
        id: Date.now(), 
        text: newTodo(), 
        completed: false 
      }]);
      newTodo('');
    }
  };
  
  const filteredTodos = $(() => {
    const currentFilter = filter();
    const allTodos = todos();
    
    if (currentFilter === 'active') {
      return allTodos.filter(t => !t.completed);
    }
    if (currentFilter === 'completed') {
      return allTodos.filter(t => t.completed);
    }
    return allTodos;
  });
  
  return html`
    <div class="todo-app">
      <h1>πŸ“ Todo App</h1>
      
      <!-- Input Area -->
      <div class="add-todo">
        <input 
          :value=${newTodo}
          @keydown=${(e) => e.key === 'Enter' && addTodo()}
          placeholder="What needs to be done?"
        />
        <button @click=${addTodo}>Add</button>
      </div>
      
      <!-- Filters -->
      <div class="filters">
        <button @click=${() => filter('all')}>All</button>
        <button @click=${() => filter('active')}>Active</button>
        <button @click=${() => filter('completed')}>Completed</button>
      </div>
      
      <!-- Todo List -->
      <div class="todo-list">
        ${() => filteredTodos().map(todo => html`
          <todo-item
            id=${todo.id}
            text=${todo.text}
            ?completed=${todo.completed}
            @toggle=${(e) => {
              const { id, completed } = e.detail;
              todos(todos().map(t => 
                t.id === id ? { ...t, completed } : t
              ));
            }}
            @delete=${(e) => {
              todos(todos().filter(t => t.id !== e.detail.id));
            }}
          ></todo-item>
        `)}
      </div>
      
      <!-- Stats -->
      <div class="stats">
        ${() => {
          const total = todos().length;
          const completed = todos().filter(t => t.completed).length;
          return html`
            <span>Total: ${total}</span>
            <span>Completed: ${completed}</span>
            <span>Remaining: ${total - completed}</span>
          `;
        }}
      </div>
    </div>
  `;
}, []);

Key Points About $c:

  1. Light DOM only - No Shadow DOM, children are accessible and styleable from outside
  2. Slot system - slot() function filters child nodes by slot attribute
  3. Reactive props - Each observed attribute becomes a signal in the props object
  4. Event emission - emit() dispatches custom events with detail payload
  5. Cleanup - onUnmount() registers functions called when component is removed
  6. Host access - host gives direct access to the custom element instance

$r(routes) - Router

Hash-based router for SPAs with reactive integration.

Basic Routing

import { $r, html } from 'sigpro';

const router = $r([
  {
    path: '/',
    component: () => html`
      <h1>Home Page</h1>
      <a href="#/about">About</a>
    `
  },
  {
    path: '/about',
    component: () => html`
      <h1>About Page</h1>
      <a href="#/">Home</a>
    `
  }
]);

document.body.appendChild(router);

Route Parameters

import { $r, html } from 'sigpro';

const router = $r([
  {
    path: '/user/:id',
    component: (params) => html`
      <h1>User Profile</h1>
      <p>User ID: ${params.id}</p>
      <a href="#/user/${params.id}/edit">Edit</a>
    `
  },
  {
    path: '/user/:id/posts/:postId',
    component: (params) => html`
      <h1>Post ${params.postId} by User ${params.id}</h1>
    `
  },
  {
    path: /^\/product\/(?<category>\w+)\/(?<id>\d+)$/,
    component: (params) => html`
      <h1>Product ${params.id} in ${params.category}</h1>
    `
  }
]);

Nested Routes

import { $r, html, $ } from 'sigpro';

const router = $r([
  {
    path: '/',
    component: () => html`
      <h1>Home</h1>
      <nav>
        <a href="#/dashboard">Dashboard</a>
      </nav>
    `
  },
  {
    path: '/dashboard',
    component: () => {
      // Nested router
      const subRouter = $r([
        {
          path: '/',
          component: () => html`<h2>Dashboard Home</h2>`
        },
        {
          path: '/settings',
          component: () => html`<h2>Dashboard Settings</h2>`
        },
        {
          path: '/profile/:id',
          component: (params) => html`<h2>Profile ${params.id}</h2>`
        }
      ]);
      
      return html`
        <div>
          <h1>Dashboard</h1>
          <nav>
            <a href="#/dashboard/">Home</a>
            <a href="#/dashboard/settings">Settings</a>
          </nav>
          ${subRouter}
        </div>
      `;
    }
  }
]);

Route Guards

import { $r, html, $ } from 'sigpro';

const isAuthenticated = $(false);

const requireAuth = (component) => (params) => {
  if (!isAuthenticated()) {
    $r.go('/login');
    return null;
  }
  return component(params);
};

const router = $r([
  {
    path: '/',
    component: () => html`<h1>Public Home</h1>`
  },
  {
    path: '/dashboard',
    component: requireAuth((params) => html`
      <h1>Protected Dashboard</h1>
    `)
  },
  {
    path: '/login',
    component: () => html`
      <h1>Login</h1>
      <button @click=${() => isAuthenticated(true)}>Login</button>
    `
  }
]);
import { $r } from 'sigpro';

// Navigate to path
$r.go('/user/42');

// Navigate with replace
$r.go('/dashboard', { replace: true });

// Go back
$r.back();

// Go forward
$r.forward();

// Get current path
const currentPath = $r.getCurrentPath();

// Listen to navigation
$r.listen((path, oldPath) => {
  console.log(`Navigated from ${oldPath} to ${path}`);
});

Route Transitions

import { $r, html, $e } from 'sigpro';

const router = $r([
  {
    path: '/',
    component: () => html`<div class="page home">Home</div>`
  },
  {
    path: '/about',
    component: () => html`<div class="page about">About</div>`
  }
]);

// Add transitions
$e(() => {
  const currentPath = router.getCurrentPath();
  const pages = document.querySelectorAll('.page');
  
  pages.forEach(page => {
    page.style.opacity = '0';
    page.style.transition = 'opacity 0.3s';
    
    setTimeout(() => {
      page.style.opacity = '1';
    }, 50);
  });
});
