Deku is a JavaScript library for rendering user interfaces using pure functions and a virtual DOM, designed as a lightweight alternative to React. It delegates all state management and side effects to external tools like Redux and ships modules for element creation, diffing, DOM rendering, and string rendering.
Use cases
- render ui with pure functions and virtual dom
- build stateless components without classes
- use a lightweight alternative to react
- render virtual elements to an html string
- build a custom renderer using a virtual dom diff
When to choose
- you want a minimal, functional, class-free ui library
- your app already uses redux for all state and side effects
- you only need to support modern browsers
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained library with ongoing fixes
- you need broad legacy browser support
- you want a large ecosystem and community like react
