Show HN: IntercoolerJs – A Declarative Ajax Framework
Hey All,
It isn't 100% complete yet, but I've decided to cut a 0.0.1 release for IntercoolerJS:
http://intercoolerjs.org/
Intercooler is a Partial View Controller framework, where AJAX responses are HTML fragments (partials) that are swapped in for existing content, based roughly on the Basecamp 2 approach.
If anyone else is interested in working on or using the project, please let me know: there is still tons of interesting work to do (e.g. back-button/pushState() support)
I think that, for many apps, this might be a good way to get 90% of the UX advantages of a thick Javascript MVC framework, at a fraction of the complexity.
- dayum 13y agoAwesome! Why didn't someone think of this years ago?!
- coffeecodecouch 13y agoThis is really great, I imagine I'll be using it often. I do however feel a bit cheated seeing that the demo isn't actually AJAX.
- carsongross 13y agoIf you want to see actual ajax requests in flight, you can take a look at the rails demo app up on heroku: http://intercoolerjs.herokuapp.com/ http://intercoolerjs.herokuapp.com/ It's only running on one dyno, though, so it might be slow depending on traffic.
- coffeecodecouch 13y agoThanks, that's what I was looking for!
