Spark Plugin for Craft CMS
==========================

[](#spark-plugin-for-craft-cms)

### A real-time, template-driven hypermedia framework for Craft CMS.

[](#a-real-time-template-driven-hypermedia-framework-for-craft-cms)

**This plugin is in alpha and its API may change.**

Spark is a free plugin for [Craft CMS](https://craftcms.com/) that allows you to create real-time front-ends driven by Twig templates. It aims to replace the need for front-end frameworks such as React, Vue.js and Alpine.js + htmx, and instead lets you manage state and run logic all within your Twig templates.

With Spark, you have the ability to define state and manipulate the DOM in real-time on the front-end, and modify parts of the DOM with templates rendered on the back-end. Use-cases for Spark are:

- Live searching elements
- Loading more elements / Infinite scroll
- Paginating, ordering and filtering lists of elements
- Submitting forms and running actions
- Pretty much anything to do with reactive front-ends

Spark is lightweight, performant and strongly opinionated about embracing hypermedia and removing front-end complexity. It can be used for anything from simple to complex use-cases.
