Welcome to Vanilla Breeze
This bell pulls live notifications from /go/notify/messages — the same contract documented at /docs/concepts/service-contracts/. Static articles like this one are the no-JS / no-backend fallback.
Concepts
Technical guides covering how Vanilla Breeze works under the hood — form association, progressive enhancement, and more.
Technical guides covering how Vanilla Breeze works under the hood. These explain the patterns and browser APIs that VB builds on, so you can make informed decisions and extend the framework confidently.
Guides
Form-Associated Custom Elements
Make web components participate in native HTML form submission, validation, and reset using ElementInternals.
Effect Compositing
How effects compose naturally via space-separated data-effect values, trigger independence, and the VB API.
Architecture Decisions
Key decisions in VB, the failure modes they prevent, and the trade-offs they accept.
Resilience Matrix
Component-by-component assessment across six defensive design dimensions.
/go/ Convention
VB’s reserved URL namespace for service relay endpoints and link facades. One indirection between components and third-party services.
Service Contracts
JSON request/response schemas for every /go/ endpoint — what backend implementations must fulfil and what VBService consumers can rely on.
Service Facade
First-party endpoint that proxies a third-party service. Privacy, caching, swappability, rate limiting — the general pattern that /go/ specialises.
Feel
Small visual and motion details that make interfaces feel considered. Concentric radius, image outlines, shadow-flush, blur-in, and the techniques VB already ships globally.
