Vue 3

<script setup>
import { ref } from "vue";
const name = ref("John");
</script>

<template>
  <h1>Hello {{ name }}</h1>
</template>

Mithril

import m from "mithril";

export default function Name() {
  let name = "John";

  return {
    view: () => m("h1", `Hello ${name}`),
  };
}

Update state

Vue 3

<script setup>
import { ref } from "vue";
const name = ref("John");
name.value = "Jane";
</script>

<template>
  <h1>Hello {{ name }}</h1>
</template>

Mithril

import m from "mithril";

export default function Name() {
  let name = "John";
  name = "Jane";
  return {
    view: () => m("h1", `Hello ${name}`),
  };
}

Computed state

Vue 3

<script setup>
import { ref, computed } from "vue";
const count = ref(10);
const doubleCount = computed(() => count.value * 2);
</script>

<template>
  <div>{{ doubleCount }}</div>
</template>

Mithril

import m from "mithril";

export default function DoubleCount() {
  let count = 10;
  let doubleCount = count * 2;
  return {
    view: () => m("div", doubleCount),
  };
}

Templating

Minimal template

Vue 3

<template>

      ),
  };
}
