        m('h1', `Count: ${count}`),
        m('button', {onclick: () => count++}, "+"),
        m('button', {onclick: () => count--}, "-")
      )
  }
}

m.mount(document.body, closure)

As a prerequisite for this snippet, the latest version of Mithril.js framework is required. Beginners should have no problems following this example, that simply shows some basic recipies.

In this code sample Mithril.js' m.mount API method is use, besides the basic hyperscript function m().
