Thank you for your interest in the openElement Framework!
Development Setup
git clone https://github.com/open-element/openelement.git cd openElement deno install deno task test deno task docs:dev
Deno-first Toolchain
openElement core CLI, SSG, serverless API, tests, publishing, and docs site tasks all use Deno 2.7+ as the default runtime. Vite 8 runs via deno run -A npm:vite - no npm or npx needed for the main workflow.
Layering: Before adding a new feature, check if it can be solved at a lower level (L0 HTML → L1 CSS → L2 Browser API → L3 Hono/Vite/Lit → L4 Custom code)
