Installation

npm

AppRun is distributed on npm. To get it, run:

npm install apprun

Create AppRun App

The npm create apprun-app command line tool creates a new AppRun project. It can scaffold a new project with build tools and a development server.

To create a project, run:

npx create-apprun-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start

No build step

You don't need npm at all to try AppRun. You can reference it from a CDN and write your views with the html template function — no compiler required. See Use AppRun in the browser.

TypeScript and JSX

When you use JSX, configure your compiler to use AppRun's JSX factory. In tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "jsx": "react",
    "jsxFactory": "app.h",
    "jsxFragmentFactory": "app.Fragment"
  }
}

The create-apprun-app templates set this up for you. For strongly-typed components and events, see Strong Typing.
