A Page composite different kinds of Components, and Components trigger Events. A Page contains many event handlers, and renders one view, and event handlers reload the whole page, Or update certain part of the page, Or go to a different Page.

GoPlaid is opinionated in several ways:

• It prefers writing HTML in static typing Go language, rather than a certain type of template language, Not even go template.
• It try to minify the needs to write any JavaScript/Typescript for building interactive web applications
• It maximize the reusability of Components. since it uses Go to write components, You can abstract component very easy, and use component from a third party Go package is also like using normal Go packages.
• It prefers chain methods to set optional parameters of Component
• It uses Vue js under the hood. and only Vue Component can be integrated
