-- views are not [web components](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_components), but they do have [shadow roots](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_components/Using_shadow_DOM) and support [slots](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_components/Using_templates_and_slots)
-- any view can be registered as a web component, perfect for entrypoints or sharing widgets with html authors
-- views are typescript-native and comfy for webdevs building apps
-- views automatically rerender whenever any [strata-compatible](https://github.com/e280/strata) state changes
+- 🪶 **no compile step** — just god's honest javascript, via [lit](https://lit.dev/)-html tagged-template-literals
+- 🥷 **shadow dom'd** — each view gets its own cozy [shadow](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_components/Using_shadow_DOM) bubble, and supports [slots](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_components/Using_templates_and_slots)
+- 🪝 **hooks-based** — declarative rendering with the [`use`](#use) family of ergonomic hooks
+- ⚡ **reactive** — they auto-rerender whenever any [strata](https://github.com/e280/strata)-compatible state changes
+- 🧐 **not components, per se** — they're comfy typescript-native ui building blocks [(technically, lit directives)](https://lit.dev/docs/templates/custom-directives/)
+- 🧩 **componentizable** — any view can be magically converted into a proper [web component](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_components)
 
 ### 🍋 view example
-- **import stuff**
-    ```ts
-    import {view, dom} from "@e280/sly"
-    import {html, css} from "lit"
-    ```
-- **declare a view**
+```ts
+import {view, dom, BaseElement} from "@e280/sly"
+import {html, css} from "lit"
+```
+- **declare view**
     ```ts
     export const CounterView = view(use => (start: number) => {
-      use.name("counter")
       use.styles(css`p {color: green}`)
 
       const $count = use.signal(start)
       const increment = () => $count.value++
 
       return html`
-        <p>count ${$count.value}</p>
-        <button @click="${increment}">+</button>
+        <button @click="${increment}">
+          ${$count.value}
+        </button>
       `
     })
     ```
-    - each view renders into a `<sly-view view="counter">` host (where "counter" is the `use.name` you provided)
-- **inject a view into the dom**
+    - `$count` is a [strata signal](https://github.com/e280/strata#readme) *(we like those)*
+- **inject view into dom**
     ```ts
     dom.in(".app").render(html`
       <h1>cool counter demo</h1>
       ${CounterView(1)}
     `)
     ```
-- 🤯 **register a view as a web component**
+- 🤯 **register view as web component**

+      MyCounter: CounterView
+        .component()
+        .props(() => [1]),
+    })
+    ```
+    ```html
+    <my-counter></my-counter>

-### 🍋 view declaration settings
-- special settings for views at declaration-time
+### 🍋 view settings
+- optional settings for views you should know about
     ```ts
     export const CoolView = view
       .settings({mode: "open", delegatesFocus: true})
-      .declare(use => (greeting: string) => {
-        return html`😎 ${greeting} <slot></slot>`
-      })
+      .render(use => (greeting: string) => html`😎 ${greeting} <slot></slot>`)
     ```
     - all [attachShadow params](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/attachShadow#parameters) (like `mode` and `delegatesFocus`) are valid `settings`
     - note the `<slot></slot>` we'll use in the next example lol

+    export const GreeterView = view(use => (name: string) => {
+      return html`<p>hello ${name}</p>`
+    })
     ```
-    - notice that direct components don't take props (do `use.attrs` instead)
-- **convert any view into a web component**
+    - view usage
+        ```ts
+        GreeterView("pimsley")
+        ```
+    **then you can convert it to a component.**
     ```ts
-    const MyCounter = CounterView.component(1)
+    export class GreeterComponent extends (
+      GreeterView
+        .component()
+        .props(component => [component.getAttribute("name") ?? "unknown"])
+    ) {}
     ```
-    - to convert a view to a component, you provide props
-    - note that the component instance has a render method like `element.render(2)` which can take new props at runtime
+    - html usage
+        ```html
+        <greeter-component name="pimsley"></greeter-component>
+        ```
+- **you can start with a component,**

+      })
+      .component()
+      .props(component => [component.getAttribute("name") ?? "unknown"])
+    ) {}
+    ```
+    - html usage
+        ```html
+        <greeter-component name="pimsley"></greeter-component>
+        ```
+    **and it already has `.view` ready for you.**
+    - view usage
+        ```ts
+        GreeterComponent.view("pimsley")
+        ```
+- **understanding `.component(BaseElement)` and `.props(fn)`**
+    - `.props` takes a fn that is called every render, which returns the props given to the view
+        ```ts
+        .props(() => ["pimsley"])
+        ```
+        the props fn receives the component instance, so you can query html attributes or instance properties
+        ```ts
+        .props(component => [component.getAttribute("name") ?? "unknown"])
+        ```
+    - `.component` accepts a subclass of `BaseElement`, so you can define your own properties and methods for your component class
+        ```ts
+        const GreeterComponent = GreeterView
+
+          // declare your own custom class
+          .component(class extends BaseElement {
+            $name = signal("jim raynor")
+            updateName(name: string) {
+              this.$name.value = name
+            }
+          })
+
+          // props gets the right types on 'component'
+          .props(component => [component.$name.value])
+        ```
+    - `.component` provides the devs interacting with your component, with noice typings
+        ```ts
+        dom<GreeterComponent>("greeter-component").updateName("mortimer")
+        ```
+    - typescript class wizardry
+        - ❌ smol-brain approach exports class value, but NOT the typings
+            ```ts
+            export const GreeterComponent = (...)
+            ```
+        - ✅ giga-brain approach exports class value AND the typings
+            ```ts
+            export class GreeterComponent extends (...) {}
+            ```
 - **register web components to the dom**
     ```ts
-    dom.register({MyComponent, MyCounter})
-      // <my-component></my-component>
-      // <my-counter></my-counter>
+    dom.register({GreeterComponent})
     ```
-    - `dom.register` automatically dashes the tag names (`MyComponent` becomes `<my-component>`)
+- **oh and don't miss out on the insta-component shorthand**
+    ```ts
+    dom.register({
+      QuickComponent: view.component(use => html`⚡ incredi`),

+
+```ts
+import {BaseElement, Use, dom} from "@e280/sly"
+import {html, css} from "lit"
+```
+
+`BaseElement` is more of an old-timey class-based "boomer" approach to making web components, but with a millennial twist — its `render` method gives you the same `use` hooks that views enjoy.
+
+👮 a *BaseElement* is not a *View*, and cannot be converted into a *View*.
+
+### 🪵 let's clarify some sly terminology
+- "Element"
+    - an html element; any subclass of the browser's HTMLElement
+    - all genuine ["web components"](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_components) are elements
+- "BaseElement"
+    - sly's own subclass of the browser-native HTMLElement
+    - is a true element and web component (can be registered to the dom)
+- "View"
+    - sly's own magic concept that uses a lit-directive to render stuff
+    - NOT an element or web component (can NOT be registered to the dom)
+    - NOT related to BaseElement
+    - can be converted into a Component via `view.component().props(() => [])`
+- "Component"
+    - a sly view that has been converted into an element
+    - is a true element and web component (can be registered to the dom)
+    - actually a subclass of BaseElement
+    - actually contains the view on `Component.view`
+
+### 🪵 base element setup
+- **declare your element class**
+    ```ts
+    export class MyElement extends BaseElement {
+      static styles = css`span{color:orange}`
+
+      // custom property
+      $start = signal(10)
+
+      // custom attributes
+      attrs = dom.attrs(this).spec({
+        multiply: Number,
+      })
+
+      // custom methods
+      hello() {
+        return "world"
+      }
+
+      render(use: Use) {
+        const $count = use.signal(1)
+        const increment = () => $count.value++
+
+        const {$start} = this
+        const {multiply = 1} = this.attrs
+        const result = $start() + (multiply * $count())
+
+        return html`
+          <span>${result}</span>
+          <button @click="${increment}">+</button>
+        `
+      }
+    }
+    ```
+- **register your element to the dom**
+    ```ts
+    dom.register({MyElement})
+    ```
+
+### 🪵 base element usage
+- **place the element in your html body**
+    ```html
+    <body>
+      <my-element></my-element>
+    </body>
+    ```
+- **now you can interact with it**
+    ```ts
+    const myElement = dom<MyElement>("my-element")
+
+    // js property
+    myElement.$start(100)
+
+    // html attributes
+    myElement.attrs.multiply = 2

+    ```
+- `dom.events` <a id="dom.events"></a> to attach event listeners

+      keyup: (e: KeyboardEvent) => console.log("keyup", e.code),

+    ```ts
+    // unattach those event listeners when you're done

+- `dom.attrs` <a id="dom.attrs"></a> to setup a type-happy html attribute helper

+    ```ts
+    attrs.name // "chase"
+    attrs.count // 123
+    attrs.active // true
+    ```
+    ```ts
+    attrs.name = "zenky"
+    attrs.count = 124
+    attrs.active = false // removes html attr
+    ```
+    ```ts
+    attrs.name = undefined // removes the attr
+    attrs.count = undefined // removes the attr
+    ```
+    or if you wanna be more loosey-goosey, skip the spec
+    ```ts
+    const a = dom.in(".demo").attrs
+    a.strings.name = "pimsley"
+    a.numbers.count = 125
+    a.booleans.active = true

-## 🦝🧑‍💻 sly is by e280
+### 💅 spa.Router basics
+- **make a spa router**
+    ```ts
+    const router = new spa.Router({
+      routes: {
+        home: spa.route("#/", async() => html`home`),
+        settings: spa.route("#/settings", async() => html`settings`),
+        user: spa.route("#/user/{userId}", async({userId}) => html`user ${userId}`),
+      },
+    })
+    ```
+    - all route strings must start with `#/`
+    - use braces like `{userId}` to accept string params
+    - home-equivalent hashes like `""` and `"#"` are normalized to `"#/"`
+    - the router has an effect on the appearance of the url in the browser address bar -- the home `#/` is removed, aesthetically, eg, `e280.org/#/` is rewritten to `e280.org` using *history.replaceState*
+    - you can provide `loader` option if you want to specify the loading spinner (defaults to `loaders.make()`)
+    - you can provide `notFound` option, if you want to specify what is shown on invalid routes (defaults to `() => null`)
+    - when `auto` is true (default), the router calls `.refresh()` and `.listen()` in the constructor.. set it to `false` if you want manual control
+    - you can set `auto` option false if you want to omit the default initial refresh and listen calls
+- **render your current page**
+    ```ts
+    return html`
+      <div class="my-page">
+        ${router.render()}
+      </div>
+    `
+    ```
+    - returns lit content
+    - shows a loading spinner when pages are loading
+    - will display the notFound content for invalid routes (defaults to null)
+- **perform navigations**
+    - go to settings page
+        ```ts
+        await router.nav.settings.go()
+          // goes to "#/settings"
+        ```
+    - go to user page
+        ```ts
+        await router.nav.user.go("123")
+          // goes to "#/user/123"
+        ```
+
+### 💅 spa.Router advanced
+- **generate a route's hash string**
+    ```ts
+    const hash = router.nav.user.hash("123")
+      // "#/user/123"
+
+    html`<a href="${hash}">user 123</a>`
+    ```
+- **check if a route is the currently-active one**
+    ```ts
+    const hash = router.nav.user.active
+      // true
+    ```
+- **force-refresh the router**
+    ```ts
+    await router.refresh()
+    ```
+- **force-navigate the router by hash**
+    ```ts
+    await router.refresh("#/user/123")
+    ```
+- **get the current hash string (normalized)**
+    ```ts
+    router.hash
+      // "#/user/123"
+    ```
+- **the `route(...)` helper fn enables the braces-params syntax**
+    - but, if you wanna do it differently, you *can* implement your own hash parser to do your own funky syntax
+- **dispose the router when you're done with it**
+    ```ts
+    router.dispose()
+      // stop listening to hashchange events
+    ```

+## 🪙🦝 loot
+> `@e280/sly/loot`  
+> *drag-and-drop facilities*  
+
+```ts
+import {loot, view, dom} from "@e280/sly"
+import {ev} from "@e280/stz"
+```
+
+### 🪙 `loot.Drops`
+> *accept the user dropping stuff like files onto the page*
+- **setup drops**
+    ```ts
+    const drops = new loot.Drops({
+      predicate: loot.hasFiles,
+      acceptDrop: event => {
+        const files = loot.files(event)
+        console.log("files dropped", files)
+      },
+    })
+    ```
+- **attach event listeners to your dropzone,** one of these ways:
+  - **view example**
+      ```ts
+      view(() => () => html`
+        <div
+          ?data-indicator="${drops.$indicator()}"
+          @dragover="${drops.dragover}"
+          @dragleave="${drops.dragleave}"
+          @drop="${drops.drop}">
+            my dropzone
+        </div>
+      `)
+      ```
+  - **vanilla-js whole-page example**
+      ```ts
+      // attach listeners to the body
+      ev(document.body, {
+        dragover: drops.dragover,
+        dragleave: drops.dragleave,
+        drop: drops.drop,
+      })
+
+      // sly attribute handler for the body
+      const attrs = dom.attrs(document.body).spec({
+        "data-indicator": Boolean,
+      })
+
+      // sync the data-indicator attribute
+      drops.$indicator.on(bool => attrs["data-indicator"] = bool)
+      ```
+- **flashy css indicator for the dropzone,** so the user knows your app is eager to accept the drop
+    ```css
+    [data-indicator] {
+      border: 0.5em dashed cyan;
+    }
+    ```
+
+### 🪙 `loot.DragAndDrops`
+> *setup drag-and-drops between items within your page*
+- **declare types for your draggy and droppy things**
+    ```ts
+    // money that can be picked up and dragged
+    type Money = {value: number}
+      // dnd will call this a "draggy"
+
+    // bag that money can be dropped into
+    type Bag = {id: number}
+      // dnd will call this a "droppy"
+    ```
+- **make your dnd**
+    ```ts
+    const dnd = new loot.DragAndDrops<Money, Bag>({
+      acceptDrop: (event, money, bag) => {
+        console.log("drop!", {money, bag})
+      },
+    })
+    ```
+- **attach dragzone listeners** (there can be many dragzones...)
+    ```ts
+    view(use => () => {
+      const money = use.once((): Money => ({value: 280}))
+      const dragzone = use.once(() => dnd.dragzone(() => money))
+
+      return html`
+        <div
+          draggable="${dragzone.draggable}"
+          @dragstart="${dragzone.dragstart}"
+          @dragend="${dragzone.dragend}">
+            money ${money.value}
+        </div>
+      `
+    })
+    ```
+- **attach dropzone listeners** (there can be many dropzones...)
+    ```ts
+    view(use => () => {
+      const bag = use.once((): Bag => ({id: 1}))
+      const dropzone = use.once(() => dnd.dropzone(() => bag))
+      const indicator = !!(dnd.dragging && dnd.hovering === bag)
+
+      return html`
+        <div
+          ?data-indicator="${indicator}"
+          @dragenter="${dropzone.dragenter}"
+          @dragleave="${dropzone.dragleave}"
+          @dragover="${dropzone.dragover}"
+          @drop="${dropzone.drop}">
+            bag ${bag.id}
+        </div>
+      `
+    })
+    ```
+
+### 🪙 loot helpers
+- **`loot.hasFiles(event)`** — return true if `DragEvent` contains any files (useful in `predicate`)
+- **`loot.files(event)`** — returns an array of files in a drop's `DragEvent` (useful in `acceptDrop`)
