Go • Zero JS • Vue SFC syntax

Server-side component
rendering for Go

Write reusable HTML components in .vue files. Render them server-side in Go — no Node.js, no JavaScript runtime, no virtual DOM.

Get started CLI reference
go install github.com/dhamidi/htmlc/cmd/htmlc@latest
🆕
Zero JavaScript runtime

Templates evaluate once per request and produce plain HTML. No hydration, no virtual DOM, no client bundles.

📄
Vue SFC syntax

Author components using the same .vue format you already know — v-if, v-for, v-bind, slots, scoped styles.

🔧
CLI & Go API

Use the htmlc CLI for static sites or import the Go package to render components inside any HTTP handler.

🎨
Scoped styles

<style scoped> rewrites selectors and injects scope attributes automatically — styles never leak between components.

📚
Static site generation

htmlc build walks a pages directory and renders every .vue file to a matching .html file. Props come from sibling JSON files.

🔎
Debug mode

Pass -debug and the output is annotated with HTML comments showing which component rendered each subtree.
