Dual

DOM framework for Node and browser

Features:

two ways of rendering - .domify() for browser and .stringify() for Node
incapsulation with dual.Widget
list management with dual.List
Backbone integration with dual.adapter.BackboneModel and dual.adapter.BackboneCollection
DCL - Dual Components Library (Twitter Bootstrap powered set of useful widgets) - work in progress
automatic resource building with grunt-dcl-resources
project scaffolding with grunt-init-dual TODO

With Dual you can use your single widgets codebase both on client and on server. It is ideal for:

really fast headless testing
progressive enhancement
speeding up application UI loading
building pluggable server-side templates
building normal single-page applications (the way it is made with ExtJS or YUI, etc...)

What Dual is not:

Dual is not a framework for writting the whole application that works both on client and server side. You have to write your models, communication and logic yourself.
Dual is not a widgets collection itself - it is rather a platform to organize your views code into widgets. However, there is DCL - a set of widgets made with dual.

Installation

Dual is hosted as npm-package.

npm install dual

var D = require('dual');
