Counter Component

Problem

Implement counter component in a production-friendly way with @vielzeug/craftit while keeping setup and cleanup explicit.

Runnable Example

The snippet below is copy-paste runnable in a TypeScript project with @vielzeug/craftit installed.

ts
import { component, define, html, signal } from '@vielzeug/craftit';

define(
  'simple-counter',
  component({
    setup() {
      const count = signal(0);

      return html`
        <div>
          <button @click=${() => count.value--}>-</button>
          <strong>${count}</strong>
          <button @click=${() => count.value++}>+</button>
        </div>
      `;
    },
  }),
);

Expected Output

  • The example runs without type errors in a standard TypeScript setup.
  • The main flow produces the behavior described in the recipe title.

Common Pitfalls

  • Forgetting cleanup/dispose calls can leak listeners or stale state.
  • Skipping explicit typing can hide integration issues until runtime.
  • Not handling error branches makes examples harder to adapt safely.
