Unlock the Power of Reusable Components with Mitosis

The Challenge of Language Barriers

In today’s fast-paced development landscape, it’s not uncommon for teams to work with multiple languages and frameworks. However, this can lead to inefficiencies and duplicated effort. For instance, one subteam might be using Vue, while another is working with React, resulting in the creation of shared components from scratch.

The Rise of Mitosis

Mitosis builds upon the innovative approaches of Svelte and SolidJS, leveraging their compilation speed and flexibility. By employing a version of JSX that compiles components to JSON, Mitosis enables the creation of tooling in two directions: code that can be converted into Mitosis JSON and plugins that compile or serialize JSON to target frameworks.

This approach supports no-code tools, such as Builder.io, which allows users to create websites visually and then compile them to the framework of their choice.

Getting Started with Mitosis

To experience the power of Mitosis firsthand, let’s create a component and explore its capabilities. Begin by installing the Mitosis CLI and creating a new npm project.

npm init
npx mitosis-cli init my-mitosis-project

Next, install Mitosis and create a file called component.lite.jsx, which will serve as the foundation for our reusable component.

npm install @mitosis/cli
touch component.lite.jsx

Building a Component with Mitosis

In our component.lite.jsx file, we’ll declare state using the useState Hook, allowing the UI to render when any property in the state object is changed. We’ll then add a code block that returns JSX, similar to React or SolidJS.

import { useState } from '@mitosis/core';

function MyComponent() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  return (

  );
}

Notice how our state can be bundled into a single object, making it easy to manage and update.

Compilation Magic

Now that our component is built, let’s see it in action. Mitosis allows us to compile our component to various frameworks, including React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, and web components.

npx mitosis-cli compile component.lite.jsx --to=react

The resulting code is surprisingly straightforward.

Unlocking the Full Potential of Mitosis

With Mitosis, the possibilities are endless. Explore the vast range of compilation targets, from Swift and Liquid.js to SolidJS and React Native.

• Swift: Compile your components to native Swift code for iOS and macOS apps.
• Liquid.js: Target Liquid.js for server-side rendering and static site generation.
• SolidJS: Compile to SolidJS for high-performance, reactive applications.
• React Native: Bring your components to mobile devices with React Native.

Streamline Your Development Workflow

In a world where language barriers can hinder progress, Mitosis is a beacon of hope. By reducing redundant work and facilitating low-code and no-code solutions, Mitosis empowers developers to create fast, reactive applications with ease.
