Guides

These guides use the public 1.13.0 package entry points and the same application contracts exercised by GLUON GOODS. Start with one path; use the reference and recipes when you already know the task.

Essentials

• Getting started: install, author, check, and build a browser application.
• Learn Gluon step by step: a progressive path through templates, reactivity, lists, styles, cleanup, and tests.
• Build one stateful component: follow requirement → state → event → render → lifecycle → cleanup → parent usage.

Build an application

• Components: properties, events, and lifecycle: choose an authoring model and build typed component boundaries.
• Choose a component level: decide between native markup, Quark, Atom, Molecule, Organism, Custom Element, and app-local code.
• Application architecture: connect application ownership, Router, Store, and cleanup.
• Async component data and SSR: choose browser-only, blocking, progressive, prefetch, or component-owned async work.
• Presentational Single-File Components: enable .gluon, author typed markup and styles, and understand its supported boundary.

Render and ship

• Universal rendering: SSR, hydration, streaming, and SSG boundaries.
• Tooling workflow: Vite, diagnostics, Devtools, testing, and Playground.
• Quality and security: accessibility, CSP, dependency, and browser gates.
• Deployment: static and server output from the reference shop.
• Release readiness: lockstep evidence, protected publication, and external prerequisites.

Choose another entry point

• Package reference: compare runtime boundaries and ownership before installing.
• Cookbook: see several public packages working together in one task.
• API reference: look up an exact export or symbol.
