A hypermedia framework that lets the backend drive a web frontend through HTML data attributes.
data-star.devrepositorydocspricing
Datastar is a hypermedia framework in which the backend drives the frontend through HTML attributes. The getting started guide names a script tag that loads the framework from a CDN as the quickest way to use it, and recommends hosting the script file yourself. The guide says it needs no npm packages or other dependencies. The Star Federation page says the framework is backed by Star Federation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and developed and maintained by a few core team members. The project publishes its code on GitHub.
Worth knowing
Datastar Pro is a paid add-on under a commercial license. It adds functionality to the open source framework, and its pricing is on the Pro page.
