{"id":13950,"library":"ripple","title":"Ripple UI Framework","description":"Ripple is an elegant TypeScript UI framework, currently at version 0.3.19, designed to facilitate the creation of user interfaces with a strong emphasis on type safety and developer experience. It leverages TypeScript extensively, allowing developers to define components as functions returning JSX elements and manage state reactively. While a precise release cadence isn't explicitly detailed, the frequent patch updates across its comprehensive ecosystem (including a CLI, Vite, Rollup, ESLint, and Prettier plugins, plus a language server) indicate active and ongoing development. Ripple differentiates itself through its integrated, TypeScript-first approach, offering a cohesive environment for modern frontend development that covers everything from component authoring to tooling integration.","status":"active","version":"0.3.19","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/Ripple-TS/ripple","tags":["javascript","ripple","UI","framework"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install ripple","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add ripple","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add ripple","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[],"imports":[{"note":"Ripple is primarily consumed via ESM imports in modern TypeScript projects.
