Documentation

To get started with Imba, we recommend reading through the official guide.

Why Imba?

Minimal syntax

Imba's syntax is minimal, beautiful, and packed with clever features. It combines logic, markup and styling in a powerful way. Fewer keystrokes and less switching files mean you'll be able to build things fast.

Runs on both server and client

Imba powers both the frontend and the backend of Scrimba.com, our learning platform with 100K+ monthly active users. On the frontend, Imba replaces e.g., Vue or React, and on the backend, it works with the Node ecosystem (e.g., npm).

Run

# clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/imba/imba.io

# enter the folder
cd imba.io

https is required to be able to run the examples and snippets. You can still run the rest of the site and work on documentation without this. So, if you're having trouble setting up https use the npm start-without-https command instead of the normal npm start…
