Build Status

Fire.js is an experimental framework that aims to reduce the amount of javascript code and callbacks when developing in Node.js by the orchestration of tiny building blocks called Expressions defined in JSON documents.

Example

Example JSON app using a MongoDB database and the MongoDB expressions:

MongoApp.fjson

{
	"name": "MongoApp.Main",
	"json": {
	    "enabledEmails": {
			"@Mongo.Find(users)": {
				"conditions": {
					"enabled": true	
				}
			},
			"@each": {
				"@get(CurrentItem.email)": null
			}
		},
		"disabledEmails": {
			"@Mongo.Find(users)": {
				"conditions": {
					"enabled": false
				}
			},
			"@each": {
				"@get(CurrentItem.email)": null
			}
		}
    }
}

The result will be:

{
	"enabledEmails": ["email1@example.com", "email2@example.com", "email3@example.com"],
	"disabledEmails": ["email4@example.com", "email5@example.com", "email6@example.com"]
}

Installation

The easiest way to install fire.js is using the awesome Node Package Manager.

npm install -g fire

The firejs command line utility should be ready to run your scripts.
