Installation

Moon can be installed with a <script> tag or through npm. The view driver uses an extension of the JavaScript language, similar to JSX, that adds HTML-like syntax for creating views.

CLI

Moon CLI can generate a scalable application with support for:

• Moon view language

• Hot module reloading

• Next generation CSS and JavaScript

• Optimized production builds

Moon CLI can be installed through npm and ran with moon.

npm install -g moon-cli
moon create my-app

NPM

Moon can be manually installed through npm. To use the Moon view language with your build system, Moon provides a moon-compiler module along with modules for most bundlers, including Webpack and Rollup.

npm install moon
npm install moon-compiler

Webpack

npm install moon-loader

// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
    module: {
        rules: [
            { test: /\.js/, use: "moon-loader" }
        ]
    }
};

Rollup

npm install rollup-plugin-moon

// rollup.config.js
import MoonPlugin from "rollup-plugin-moon";

export default {
    plugins: [
        MoonPlugin()
    ]
};

Browser

Moon can be embedded in the browser directly with a script tag. To use the Moon view language in the browser, Moon provides a moon-browser module that compiles <script> tags with type "text/moon".

<script src="https://unpkg.com/moon"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/moon-browser"></script>

<script type="text/moon" src="scripts.js"></script>
<script type="text/moon">
    const paragraph = <p>Hello Moon!</p>;
</script>
