# Ripple TS
Ripple is a TypeScript-first UI framework built around `.tsrx` files, fine-grained
reactivity, scoped styles, and a small runtime. It pairs the authoring feel of JSX
with template-native control flow and TypeScript setup that can live right beside
the UI it feeds.
Created by [@trueadm](https://github.com/trueadm), who has contributed to
[Inferno](https://github.com/infernojs/inferno),
[React](https://github.com/facebook/react),
[Lexical](https://github.com/facebook/lexical), and
[Svelte 5](https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte).
> `.tsrx` is also a standalone language. The shared TSRX compiler stack can target
> React, Preact, Solid, Vue, and Ripple. Ripple is the runtime-focused target with
> `track()`, reactive collections, server modules, hydration, and DOM helpers.

## Features
- Fine-grained reactivity with `track()` and lazy destructuring.
- Reactive `RippleArray`, `RippleObject`, `RippleMap`, and `RippleSet`.
- Template-native `@if`, `@for`, `@switch`, and `@try`.
- Local TypeScript setup with JSX statement containers (`@{...}`).
- Scoped `
}
```
Module-scope style expressions can expose scoped class names:
```tsrx
const styles = ;
export function Badge() {
return New;
}
```
### Context And Portals
```tsrx
import { Context, Portal, track, type Tracked } from 'ripple';
const ThemeContext = new Context>();
export function App() @{
let &[theme, themeTracked] = track('light');
ThemeContext.set(themeTracked);
<>
Portal content
}
function ThemeLabel() @{
const theme = ThemeContext.get();
Theme:{theme.value}
}
```
### Server Modules
Ripple supports `module server` in `.tsrx` files for server-oriented exports.
Import from `server` inside the same file before calling the server function.
```tsrx
module server {
export async function loadMessage() {
return 'Loaded on the server';
}
}
import { loadMessage } from server;
import { effect, track } from 'ripple';
export function Page() @{
let &[message] = track('Loading...');
effect(() => {
loadMessage().then((next) => {
message = next;
});
});
{message}
}
```
