Outwatch

The Functional and Reactive Web-Frontend Library for Scala.js

import outwatch._
import outwatch.dsl._
import colibri._
import cats.effect.{IO, IOApp}

object Main extends IOApp.Simple {
  override def run = {
    val counter = Subject.behavior(0)
    val myComponent = div(
      button("+", onClick(counter.map(_ + 1)) --> counter),
      counter,
    )

    Outwatch.renderReplace[IO]("#app", myComponent)
  }
}

In Outwatch, you can describe your whole web application without doing any side effect - you only run your application when rendering it.

• Write UI-components using pure functions
• Manage state in a referentially transparent way using cats-effect
• Built-in lightweight Observable and Subject types from colibri
• Seamlessly works with existing reactive programming libraries: ZIO, fs2, Airstream, scala.rx
• Low-boilerplate, many convenient helper functions
• Built on top of snabbdom, a virtual dom library

You will find interactive examples and explanations in our documentation.

Quickstart

Template

The quickest way to play with outwatch is to use our template.

Make sure that java, sbt, nodejs and yarn are installed.

sbt new outwatch/seed.g8

In your newly created project directory, run:

sbt dev

and point your browser to http://localhost:12345.

Manual setup

Add the scalajs and scalajs-bundler plugins to your project/plugins.sbt:

addSbtPlugin("org.scala-js" % "sbt-scalajs" % "1.x.x")
addSbtPlugin("ch.epfl.scala" % "sbt-scalajs-bundler" % "x.x.x")

Add the outwatch dependencies to your build.sbt:

enablePlugins(ScalaJSPlugin)
enablePlugins(ScalaJSBundlerPlugin)

resolvers += "jitpack" at "https://jitpack.io"
val outwatchVersion = "<latest outwatch version>"
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  "io.github.outwatch"   %%% "outwatch"          % outwatchVersion,
  // optional dependencies:
  "com.github.cornerman" %%% "colibri-zio"       % "0.7.1", // zio support
  "com.github.cornerman" %%% "colibri-fs2"       % "0.7.1", // fs2 support
  "com.github.cornerman" %%% "colibri-airstream" % "0.7.1", // sirstream support
  "com.github.cornerman" %%% "colibri-rx"        % "0.7.1", // scala.rx support
  "com.github.cornerman" %%% "colibri-router"    % "0.7.1", // Url Router support
