Concept

This section covers the core reactive primitives that power Aitne applications. Understanding these concepts is essential for building efficient, responsive UIs.

  • Signal — The fundamental unit of reactive state
  • Effect — Side effects that respond to state changes
  • Memo — Derived, cached computations
  • Context — Dependency injection through the component tree
  • Owner — Lifecycle management and resource cleanup

Together, these primitives form a complete fine-grained reactivity system that eliminates the need for a Virtual DOM while providing predictable, efficient updates.
