About Partas.Solid

Introduction

Partas.Solid is a plugin for Fable, the F# to JavaScript compiler. It turns F# into JSX for Solid. Partas.Solid 3.0 targets Solid 2.0 (currently 2.0.0-rc.9).

It has one overarching goal that sets it apart from other F# front-end libraries:

What this means

• You define a component and use it in the same DSL as a native tag. A component you wrote looks the same at the call site as div or a component imported from a library. Every tree reads the same way, which makes it easier to read, refactor and reuse.
• A component inherits its shape from one type. Inherit button() and your component accepts children, classes and every button attribute and event. You do not write overloads or optional parameters by hand.
• Optional properties and default values look like they do in the JavaScript source you are porting from.

How these docs are organised
