⚠️ DO NOT USE. WHILE CERTAIN FEATURES MIGHT BE WORKING, MANY THINGS ARE STILL SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME.

fresh

The next-gen web framework.

Fresh is a web framework that lets you build projects very fast, highly dynamic, and without the need of a build step. Fresh embraces isomorphic JavaScript like never before. Write a JSX component, have it render on the edge just-in-time, and then enhance it with client side JS for great interactivity.

Fresh does not have a build step - you write your code, deploy it to Deno Deploy, and from there everything is handled by the framework.

• No build step
• Zero config necessary
• JIT rendering on the edge
• Tiny (example is 0-3KB of runtime JS)¹
• Optional client side hydration
• TypeScript out of the box
• File-system routing à la Next.js

Documentation

The documentation is available on fresh.deno.dev.

Getting started

You can scaffold a new project by running the Fresh init script. To scaffold a project in the myproject folder, run the following:

deno run -A --no-check https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lucacasonato/fresh/main/init.ts my-project

To now start the project, use deno task:

deno task start

To deploy the script to Deno Deploy, push your project to GitHub, create a Fresh project, and link it to main.ts file in the created repository.
