πŸ’‘ Quick Tips

Performance

// Use safe mode to prevent crashes
_('#element').safe().hide();

// Batch DOM operations
_.batchUpdate(() => {
    // Multiple DOM updates here
});

// Debounce expensive operations
const search = _.debounce(searchAPI, 300);

Security

// Always sanitize user input
_('#content').html(userInput, true); // Sanitized!

// Use CSRF tokens
_.csrf.setToken(token);
await _.post('/api/data', payload); // Auto-included

Reactivity

// Create reactive state
const count = _.signal(0);

// Auto-update DOM
_.effect(() => {
    _('#count').text(count());
});

count.set(5); // DOM updates automatically!
