98ts

98ts

A lightweight, vanilla TypeScript library for creating interactive 98.css components

Bring retro Windows 98 UI elements to life with TypeScript - fully class-based, framework-free, and ready to drop into modern projects like Vite or Webpack.

---

Features

• Minimal, vanilla TypeScript classes for components like Button, Window, and Checkbox.
• Easy DOM integration via .el property.
• Fully typed with TypeScript for autocompletion and safety.
• Framework-agnostic — works anywhere that uses modern JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Designed to complement 98.css styling

---

Installation

npm install 98ts
# or
pnpm install 98ts

---

Make sure to also include 98.css in your project:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/98.css">

Alternatively, you can grab 98.css from the releases page or npm.

npm install 98.css
# or
pnpm install 98.css

---

Usage

import { Button } from "98ts";

// Create a new button
const btn = new Button({
  label: "Click Me!",
  onClick: () => alert("Hello, retro world!"),
});

// Append it to the DOM
document.body.appendChild(btn.el);

API Style

All components follow the same object-oriented style:

const component = new Component(props);
document.body.appendChild(component.el);

• .el exposes the underlying DOM element
• Fully compatible with modern bundlers like Vite, Rollup, and Webpack
