Immediate-mode DOM tools
npm install imm-domLightweight tooling around DOM creation.
Designed to be embedded piecewise in self-contained Web Components.
I love virtual DOM libraries like [superfine][], [preact][], and [inferno][].
But not all creations need the efficient updating logic.
Creations like self-sufficient Web Components, where every byte of superfluous logic is wasted.
The imm-dom library enables concise expression of DOM creation,
while never setting innerHTML with uncontrolled content.
Elements are created using createElement() or createElementNS().
Strings become Text nodes via createTextNode() or elem.append().
Attributes are set using elem.setAttribute().
DOM injection is protected against, in conjunction with caution and expertise, to provide tools for dynamic content.

See the mini demo and the demo's index.html source.
imm-dom provdes layers of DOM tools:
- Creating new DOM elements, both HTML and SVG
- Manipulating (existing) DOM elements
- Defining Web Components
- Misc utilities: promises, deferreds, render animation frames, etc.

- imm_raf() returns a promise for the next requestAnimationFrame tick.ImmRAF
- is like ImmElem using requestAnimationFrame to decouple attribute updates from rendering.
To be embedded in each web component custom element, the individual pieces must be small.
Thus imm-dom is _designed to include only the parts actually used_
when paired with a tree-shaking tool like [rollup][].
One component might only use imm_set() from imm_dom_core.js for ~ 1350 bytes minified; ~ 700 brotli.
An web component may take advantage of ImmElem from imm_elem.js for ~ 2700 bytes minified; ~ 1200 brotli.
A heavy rendering component may take advantage of ImmRAF from imm_elem_raf.js for ~ 3200 bytes minified; ~ 1500 brotli.
The entire library is ~ 9500 bytes minified; ~ 4000 brotli -- perfect for bundling a larger web component library and sharing structure.
