Getting Started with Qwik

Qwik is a new kind of web framework that can deliver instant loading web applications at any size or complexity. Let's explore how to get started with it.

Why Qwik?

Qwik is designed to solve the JavaScript bundle size problem by introducing a new way of thinking about how we load and execute JavaScript in the browser.

Installation

npm create qwik@latest

Basic Concepts

Components

Qwik components are defined using the component$ function:

import { component$ } from "@builder.io/qwik";

export default component$(() => {
  return <div>Hello Qwik!</div>;
});

State Management

Qwik provides powerful state management through signals:

import { component$, useSignal } from "@builder.io/qwik";

export default component$(() => {
  const count = useSignal(0);

  return <button onClick$={() => count.value++}>Count: {count.value}</button>;
});
