*** ABSTRACT ***
Rethinking Front End APIs: authoring a library with a declarative API
As a multi-paradigm language, javascript permits a wide range of different coding styles and varied approaches to organizing library APIs. When designing our network visualization library trellis, our team at Sayari took inspiration from projects like React and Kubernetes and D3 to create a fully declarative, stateless API that's easy to use and makes very few assumptions about the project it's embedded in. In this talk, I'll describe our thinking behind these choices, and demonstrate how projects like Trellis with declarative APIs contrast with data visualization libraries with imperative interfaces.
