Explore an alternative method of front-end application development without using web frameworks or third-party JavaScript libraries. This book provides you with the required skills and freedom to consider a “no framework” approach when choosing a technology for creating a new project.

You’ll work through the most important issues in a clear and sensible way, using practical methods and tools to gain an understanding of non-functional requirements. This book answers questions on important topics such as state management, making a web app routing system, creating a REST client using [[fetch, and reveals the trade-offs and risks associated with choosing the wrong framework or tool for your project, as well as providing sustainable, functional alternatives.

Frameworkless Front-End Development breaks down the concept of technical debt and the ways in which a framework can impact the lifespan of a project. Along with gaining a comprehensive and clear guide on coding effectively from scratch without frameworks, you will also learn some principles of technical decision-making.

• Review how DOM manipulation works
• Manage state of a front-end application with different JavaScript design patterns
• Safely migrate existing applications to a new framework or to frameworkless code
• Use decision-making tools such as a Framework Compass Chart and an Architectural Clash
• See how the choice of frameworks can affect the ‘health’ and lifespan of a codebase

Francesco Strazzullo is an experienced front- end engineer, JavaScript trainer, and the co-founder of the Marca User Group (MUG). He has presented at tech conferences and meet-ups around Europe, is a technical reviewer for multiple tech publishers, and writes technical articles on his blog. He is always enthusiastic about trying out new APIs, and he is a firm believer that the best way to learn something new is to explain and teach it to somebody else. He co-founded the Frameworkless Movement, which is a group for those interested in developing software without using frameworks.
