altseven

v 8.2.0

A JavaScript framework. Originally built as an exploration into reactive programming with JavaScript. Now a full-fledged Web framework.

Compile on CLI from root folder:

$ grunt clean

To install dev dependencies from NPM:

$ npm install

Current Version - 8.2.0

This release adds support for optional caching of templates in the UI manager, allowing the developer to turn off template caching. It also adds better logging of view rendering errors due to missing views.

Installation

$ npm install altseven

You only need to install dependencies from npm to work on the altseven framework, or for optional modules:

gadget-ui can be used for the FloatingPane as a container for the debugging console.

$ npm install altseven

Handlebars can be used as the templating engine.

$ npm install handlebars

modlazy can be used as a module/dependency loader if you use Handlebars or Mustache for rendering

$ npm install modlazy

The CFML engine test has been deprecated and may not be functional.

To run the example application included in the /test folder, you need a CFML engine. The easiest way to run it is to install CommandBox:
