Implement rapid top-down rendering of views while embracing the principles of functional programming. Strive for views that are predictable, inherently modular, and easily composable, yet maintain high performance. In this context, Omniscient serves a role similar to how memoization enhances the efficiency of the Fibonacci function in React. This approach applies functional programming techniques to user interfaces, utilizing memoization for stateless React components and ensuring a top-down component rendering with a unidirectional data flow. It promotes the use of immutable data structures, such as those provided by Immutable.js, and encourages the development of small, composable components that can share functionality via mixins. The design naturally leads to a clear separation of concerns, with each component handling only its specific data slice. By centralizing definitions and maintaining efficiency, an Omniscient component can be seen as a more optimized version of a Stateless React Component. Furthermore, Omniscient transcends being merely a library; it embodies a mindset for constructing applications. Wrapped in a UMD format, Omniscient offers versatility for use across various modules, including CommonJS, AMD, or simply via the global window object, making it adaptable for different development environments. This flexibility allows developers to seamlessly integrate it into a wide array of projects.
