This library currently implements small part of [Facebook BigPipe][blog] so far, but the advantage is to efficiently insert/replace content and work with the DOM. It is also possible to easily call JavaScript modules from PHP.

🌟 Inspiration

BigPipe is inspired by Facebook's BigPipe. For more details

💡 Motivation

There is a large number of PHP projects for which moving to modern frameworks like Laravel Livewire, React, Vue.js (and many more!) could be very challenging.

The purpose of this library is to rapidly reduce the continuously repetitive code to work with the DOM and improve the communication barrier between PHP and JavaScript.
