Roger Nesbitt 843a720f52 Small documentation tweak
Use "kB" instead of "kb" and include a space between units and the unit symbol.
After discussion with @isiahmeadows, make the size more specific too.

What is Mithril?

Mithril is a client-side MVC framework - a tool to organize code in a way that is easy to think about and to maintain.

Light-weight

  • Only 7.8 kB gzipped, no dependencies
  • Small API, small learning curve

Robust

  • Safe-by-default templates
  • Hierarchical MVC via components

Fast

  • Virtual DOM diffing and compilable templates
  • Intelligent auto-redrawing system

Sample code

//namespace
var app = {};

//model
app.PageList = function() {
	return m.request({method: "GET", url: "pages.json"});
};

//controller
app.controller = function() {
	var pages = app.PageList();
	return {
		pages: pages,
		rotate: function() {
			pages().push(pages().shift());
		}
	}
};

//view
app.view = function(ctrl) {
	return [
		ctrl.pages().map(function(page) {
			return m("a", {href: page.url}, page.title);
		}),
		m("button", {onclick: ctrl.rotate}, "Rotate links")
	];
};


//initialize
m.mount(document.getElementById("example"), app);
