This is OLD rather use async await etc.

Bolting it together

This is not a framework. Just a starting point to build what you need. The code are useful for browser and/or nodejs backend.

We use simple Bolt object to tie model, template and dom-element together so that changing object properties changes views.

want

Blazing speed
Simplicity

don't want

any massive library requirements
complicated framework
jquery or such
requirejs or such

don't care about

old browser support (old Internet Explorers). For simplitys sake we use defineGetter and defineSetter which are not supported by old Internet Explorers. There are workarounds, include them yourself if you need them.

How to..

install dependencies

npm install

Program goes to src/..

modify and write your app src/main.js

Templates

are located in src/tpl

For templating and such we use custom version of https://github.com/honza/140medley

myViewTemplate.tpl example

<div id="#{this.id}">

    <h1>#{this.title}</h1>
    
    <p>#{this.content}</p>

    <a href="#{this.link}">#{this.link}</a>
</div>

gulp minifies and concats escapes these to app.min.js

Bolt usage

tie model and view for auto update

var my_data = {
    "id": "123",
    "title": "Hello",
    "content": "World",
    "link": "http://github.com"
};

var my_data_bolt = new Bolt(my_data, v.myViewTemplate, '#myElementId');

now myViewTemplate should auto render in #myElementId container when ever my_data object changes.

Vow usage

wait for one or more async getter calls to finish before final yield callback. useful for gettin apis etc. before render.

var my_data_vow = new Vow( my_data );
my_data_vow.promise("content", function(cb) {
    //async/sync function ajax or what ever that get's your data 
    //just remember do callback when ready
    cb('your result here');
    } );

//... do how ever many promises you like here

my_data_vow.yield( function ( my_data ) {
    //callback when my_data object promises are completely yielded
    });

yielding triggers all promises, unless you unPromise them. (useful for polling etc.)

combined usage

see main.js
