composite-js

Description

Seanox composite-js is a browser-native application runtime for single-page applications (SPAs) and micro-frontends.

Applications use the browser’s programming model. HTML remains the primary view language, extended with expression language and binding to application logic; JavaScript remains the primary application language, extended with Routing and reactive rendering; CSS defines the presentation.

The runtime combines component-based composition and declarative UI to organize applications into modules, each containing a view, application logic and resources. These modules are composed into an application at runtime, without compilation.

Recommended CSS/UI frameworks:

• https://picocss.com/
• https://bulma.io/
• https://getbootstrap.com/
• https://vanillaframework.io/
• https://getuikit.com/
• https://fomantic-ui.com/
• https://w3schools.com/w3css/
• https://patternfly.org/ (CSS/HTML only)

Recommended are CSS-only, CSS-first and HTML-first UI toolkits that provide styling and optional UI components without replacing HTML or managing rendering, component lifecycle or application state.

Features

• Composite
  Modular application unit with its own identity, consisting of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and additional resources, composed at runtime.
• Runtime Composition
  Composite resources are resolved and loaded by the runtime, which realizes the composite within a concrete DOM context – without compilation.
• Expression Language
  Expressions in markup provide access to client-side JavaScript, such as application data and the application module.
• Composite Binding
  Connects the view with the application module, without an additional wiring layer.
• Reactive Rendering
  Updates the affected parts of the view when reactive application data changes.
• Routing
  Declarative routing through paths (view flow), based on nested composites, with navigation, permission checks and interceptors.
• Architecture Neutrality
  The runtime provides the infrastructure for structuring and composing applications, without prescribing a specific application architecture such as MVC, MVCS or MVVM.
• DataSource
  Immutable XML data source for static application data, with locales, querying and transformation via XPath and XSLT.
• Resource Bundle
  DataSource extension for internationalization (i18n), localization (l10n) and other client-related texts, based on key-value entries.
• Test API
  API and runtime environment for integration and unit tests, with mechanisms for automated execution and simulated user input.
