Nodejitsu unveils: Flatiron web framework for node.js
- z_ 15y agoI don't know if it's intentional but it currently 404s and that is everything I expected from node.js.
- indexzero 15y agoIt is live now. We had a lot of repositories to move over on Github. Held us up by about an hour.
- netlemurde 15y agothis link should be on the website somewhere: https://github.com/flatiron https://github.com/flatiron
- zeeone 15y agoNice, lightweight framework, but the template system (Plates) seems weak. It only binds to DOM elements. This means two things: a) You always have to use HTML for all of your templates; b) You have to create a new DOM element for each variable. Example <div id="greet">Hello <div id="name">Batman</div></div> instead of <div id="greet">Hello <%= name %></div>
- maxogden 15y agoi'd recommend opening an issue over here https://github.com/flatiron/plates/issues https://github.com/flatiron/plates/issues so that the authors can respond to you more efficiently
- hij1nx 15y agothat the entire point of the templates component. `<div id="greet">Hello <%= name %></div>` is a biproduct of many years of webservers not being able to parse DOM structures. DSLs come and go. they make markup non-portable. Moving away from DSLs is a step toward a more portable stack.
