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 dev
Deno-first Toolchain
openElement core CLI, SSG, serverless API, tests, publishing, and docs site tasks all use Deno 2.8+ 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, then L4 custom code.
