(fab) - a streaming javascript framework
NOTE: (fab) is no longer under development.
(fab) is a lightweight toolkit that makes it easy to build asynchronous web apps. It takes advantage of the flexibility and functional nature of javascript to create a concise "DSL", without pre-compilation or magic scope hackery.
Here's an example of a "hello world" app:
module.exports = function( exports, imports ) {
return imports( function( run, node$listen, route, html ) {
with ( html ) return run
()
( node$listen, 0xFAB )
( HTML )
( BODY, { id: "show" } )
( "Hello, " )
( EM )
( route, /^\/(\w+)$/ )
( route.capture, 0 )
( /* else */ )
( "world!" )
() //EM
( "!" )
() //BODY
() //HTML
();
})
}
Getting started
To install (fab), use npm:
npm install fab
Then, from the (fab) directory in your node folder, launch the demo.js example:
fab demo.js
Look in the source of the demo to see how the app was built.
