Realm, short for Reactive-Lightweight Markup Language, is a cutting-edge HTML framework that uses Web Components to create dynamic web apps, making it ideal for rapidly building Minimum Viable Products (MVPs). The framework relies heavily on HTML, reducing the need for extensive JavaScript.
Let’s explore a basic example to better understand Realm’s capabilities:
<custom-element name="my-element">
<element-attr name="realm" type="string">world</element-attr>

<strong>
<slot name="@realm"></slot>
</strong>
</template>
</custom-element>
<!--

-->
<my-element></my-element>
<my-element realm="universe"></my-element>
