- Every website or web application is one star in this space.
- There are many combinations that work well. While others no so much.
- We all plot our path in this space. And have our current home there.
- There are clusters in this space, i.e. the React-Cluster, oder Angular or Vue.
- My current home is in the L-O-B with Go and Vue vicinity.
- There is an old Cluster called Hypermedia. Where all Webapps once lived.
- Hypermedia has developed a new bulge called HTMX.
- Next to it is a new tiny blob, called Datastar.

# How did I find Datastar? What is my motivation?
### Finding my combination of web technologies for a minimal viable web application.
- Part 1: The Database: SQLite
- Part 2: The No-ORM ORM - A very simple Data Abstraction Layer.
- Part 3: Developing a Web Server Application in Go.
- Part 4: Datastar - a lightweight framework for real-time collaborative web apps.
- Part 5: Modern CSS.
- Part 6: Web components.
- Part 7: Simple Deployments with a VPS, Nginx, Certbot and a single binary file.

# Part 1: SQLite:
### It is fast, feature complete* and rock solid.
## It is not SQ-Lite, it is SQL-ite
Since everybody knows SQLite, today just a few highlights:
- It has JSON and JSONB as built-in data types.
- It has 29 new functions to extract from JSON or to create JSON objects.
- It's CTEs make SQL Turing complete.
- The SQLite CLI can be used to execute "SQL-scripts". See demo.
* from my pov and for my needs and purposes

# Part 2: A very simple Data Abstraction Layer:
Features:
- Simplified Database Lifecycle Management.
- Generic Data Handling.
- High-Level CRUD Operations.
- Fluent Transaction API.
- Abstraction and Safety.
- Utility Functions.

# Part 3: Developing a Web Server Application in Go.
Why Go?
- Go is a compiled language that generates native machine code.
- Go's core strength is its built-in, lightweight concurrency model using goroutines and channels.
- Go has a small, well-defined specification and a deliberately simple syntax.
- The standard library is comprehensive, especially for web development.
- Go compiles into a single, static binary with no external dependencies.
- Go is simple, just 25 reserved words in the language.
- Can embed the database engine (modernc/sqlite)
- Can serve static code from embeded folders and files.
- Can embed other resources, like sql files or template files.
- Has a built-in templating engine.

# Part 4: Datastar
Quote Gillian Delany:
> The problem is Datastar is actually a backend agnostic backend framework with a 10 Kb shim. There has never been anything like it in practice. So it is hard to explain.

# Learn Some Templating System:
| Concept | Example | Meaning |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| **Interpolation** | `{{ name }}` | Insert value of `name` |
| **Loop** | `{% for item in items %}...{% endfor %}` | Repeat block for each item |
| **Condition** | `{% if logged_in %}Welcome{% endif %}` | Conditional rendering |
| **Include** | `{% include 'header.html' %}` | Reuse a subtemplate |
| **Escaping** | `{{{ raw_html }}}` or `{{& raw_html}}` | Control HTML escaping |

# Shiki Magic Move
Powered by [shiki-magic-move](https://shiki-magic-move.netlify.app/), Slidev supports animations across multiple code snippets.
Add multiple code blocks and wrap them with ````md magic-move (four backticks) to enable the magic move. For example:
````md magic-move {lines: true}
```ts {*|2|*}
// step 1
const author = reactive({
name: 'John Doe',
books: [
'Vue 2 - Advanced Guide',
'Vue 3 - Basic Guide',
'Vue 4 - The Mystery'
]
})
```
```ts {*|1-2|3-4|3-4,8}
// step 2
export default {
data() {
return {
author: {
name: 'John Doe',
books: [
'Vue 2 - Advanced Guide',

'Vue 4 - The Mystery'
]
}
}
}

books: [

# Clicks Animations
You can add `v-click` to elements to add a click animation.
This shows up when you click the slide:

# Monaco Editor
Slidev provides built-in Monaco Editor support.
Add `{monaco}` to the code block to turn it into an editor:
```ts {monaco}
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { emptyArray } from './external'
const arr = ref(emptyArray(10))
```
Use `{monaco-run}` to create an editor that can execute the code directly in the slide:
```ts {monaco-run}
import { version } from 'vue'
import { emptyArray, sayHello } from './external'
sayHello()
console.log(`vue ${version}`)
console.log(emptyArray(10).reduce(fib => [...fib, fib.at(-1)! + fib.at(-2)!], [1, 1]))
