Ask HN: What do you want in a javascript MVC framework.
For a project I'm considering making or extending a javascript MVC framework. What features or design aspects would you want in one? I personally want more robust model relationships and less boilerplate.
- cancelbubble 14y agoI don't want another one. The problem is analysis paralysis. Take a look at http://todomvc.com/ http://todomvc.com/ and note "Scroll down for 30+ more framework apps in Labs" 30+ more???? 30+ more?????????
- mcrittenden 14y agoHave you taken a good hard look at the existing frameworks? I don't think the world needs another JS MVC framework, unless you're just making one for practice or fun. What do you mean by "more robust model relationships" if it's not something that's solved by Ember and Ember Data?
- floptikal 14y agoPersonally, I think there is room for many more! The ones there are out there are generally way to bloated and weird functional hybrids that doesn’t solve key issues. I would argue that the ones we have are way too model heavy, and makes all kinds of presumptions what a model is. Stuff that does not belong in a javascript MVC framework: -Bindings -Routes -Templates -Coffeescript
