Kiwi - A little javascript framework I wrote that saved me a lot of time
I wrote Kiwi for a project I just launched. I think it is quite a solid base for something better, so I'm putting it out there for any potential collaborators. Needs some work, feel free to fork or critique :)
- Flow 17y agoRespect! Such a cool little script!
- ochiba 17y agoThis reminds me of Jester http://wiki.github.com/thoughtbot/jester/usage http://wiki.github.com/thoughtbot/jester/usage
- bradgessler 17y agoYes, this is like Jester, but jQuery style. Very nice work!
- rpbertp13 17y agoVery similar to it indeed! That's what I like about REST... standards organize interfacing tools in similar ways. I'll take a better look at jester :)
- wozza 17y agowtf is with this obsession with javascript frameworks ?
- mbrubeck 17y agoIt's not a bad question, really. One reason is that JavaScript is the only popular language with no standard library.
- diN0bot 17y agonot a bad question, though poorly (immaturely) articulated. in addition to mbrubeck's comment, i'd say that javascript has grown from merely providing neat actions to webpages, to being model, view and controller. at my startup we (er, the other developer) ported/mimic'd django's mvc to javascript. we're building a firefox extension, so this is particular critical as the extension must provide the full mvc for the "website." edit: as a ff extension, our models are backed by sqlite files. in jester and kiwi are models objects? that is, are these frameworks purely for client-side applications, or for javascript-server stuff?
- rpbertp13 17y agoIt's not an obsession, I wrote it because I needed something like this for my current work. I know there are quite of bunch of javascript frameworks out there, but the ones I looked at where either too huge or clunky, or didn't fit my needs. My intention was merely to share it with the community and propose the base for a hopefully collaborative project.
- rogeriopvl 17y agoNice framework. Good job!
- wenbert 17y agoInitial thoughts: This filled a void for me. I have been looking for something like this for a while now. I have had problems with organizing my Javascript code. I will definitely try this out when I get home tonight. For now, off to the beach! Thanks!
- rpbertp13 17y agoThanks to everyone for the comments!
- nsm 17y agothis could really use a more cohesive documentation, say a simple example. I don't understand how to hook it up, my callbacks don't get called
