About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

SolidJS is a JavaScript UI library that tracks reactive dependencies through primitives such as signals and updates only the affected DOM. JSX is compiled to real DOM operations, so the rendering model does not depend on a Virtual DOM.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Update only signal dependencies

Primitives such as createSignal track the computations that read state and rerun only those dependencies when values change.

Sources: [2][3]

Use one component model across JSX, SSR, and streaming

Solid includes JSX, context, portals, suspense, server rendering, streaming, progressive hydration, and related modern UI capabilities.

Sources: [2]

For web interfaces that value fine-grained updates and direct DOM behavior

It fits projects that want state changes to affect small reactive regions rather than treating an entire component tree as the default update unit.

Sources: [2]

React-like syntax does not mean a React-like runtime

The JSX and function-component syntax can look familiar, but Solid does not assume repeated component rerenders. Review signals and dependency tracking before porting React patterns directly.

Supplemental curator note

SolidJS uses JSX that looks familiar to React developers, but it does not rely on a Virtual DOM or repeatedly execute whole components for updates. The current `solid-js` package is 1.9.15. Evaluate its signal-based dependency tracking as a distinct execution model rather than treating it as React Hooks with different names.

Try it in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Create a TypeScript starter

    Use the official TypeScript starter from the README to create a minimal Vite-based SolidJS application.

    npx degit solidjs/templates/ts my-app
  2. 2

    Install dependencies

    Enter the generated project and install the dependencies defined by the starter.

    cd my-app && npm install
  3. 3

    Start the development server

    Open the sample application and verify the basic signal-driven update behavior.

    npm run dev
