Mitosis: Write Once, Run Everywhere 🌐
What is Mitosis?
Mitosis is an open-source project by Builder.io that provides a unified development experience across different frontend frameworks. Here’s what it offers:
Single Codebase, Multiple Frameworks:
With Mitosis, you can build your components in a single codebase using a familiar syntax (similar to JSX).
These components can then be compiled to work seamlessly with various frameworks, eliminating the need to rewrite the same component logic for different platforms.
Supported Frameworks:
Mitosis compiles your components to native code for the following frameworks:
React
Vue
Angular
Svelte
Solid
Alpine
Qwik
And more!
Why Use Mitosis?
Consistent Design System:
Imagine maintaining a consistent design system across multiple frameworks. Mitosis makes it possible!
You can create your UI components once and reuse them across different projects, regardless of the frontend technology stack.
Sync Design Systems from Figma to Code:
Mitosis allows you to sync your design systems directly from Figma to code.
Publish your design tokens (colors, typography, spacing, etc.) to npm, making them accessible across all supported frameworks.
Avoid Web Component Pitfalls:
While web components are powerful, they come with challenges like encapsulation, performance overhead, and limited framework integration.
Mitosis compiles your components to native framework code, avoiding these pitfalls.
QuickStart with Mitosis
To create a new Mitosis project from scratch, run the following command:
npm create @builder.io/mitosis@latest
This sets up a fresh Mitosis project.
Read the
