emily

3.0.7 • Public • Published

What is Emily?

  • Emily is a JS library for building scalable web applications.
  • It's runtime agnostic as it doesn't rely on the DOM.
  • It's ready for realtime applications.
  • It's only a set of AMD/commonJS modules, your module loader is the framework
  • It's ready for being used with other frameworks.
  • It only relies on standard features
  • It eases the development of MV* applications by providing the M

What modules does it provide?

  • Observable: the all mighty observer design pattern.
  • Store: the spine of your MV* application.
  • Promise: a fully compliant promise/A+ implementation following promiseA+-tests
  • StateMachine: don't hide your states and transitions behind if/else anymore.
  • Transport: make requests to anything node.js has access to.
  • Tools: these functions you always need and rewrite.
  • Router: set routes with associated actions and navigate to them while keeping tack of the history

How do I use it?

  • Added proxy alias for alter in Store
  • Updated documentation, added integration tests

1.3.4 - 03 MAR 2013

1.3.3 - 28 JAN 2013

  • Added Store.dump
  • When store publishes a change event, it publishes both the new and the previous value

1.3.2 - 22 JAN 2013

  • Fixed emily-server breaking olives
  • Updated requirejs

1.3.1 - 1 JAN 2013

  • Promise has been updated to pass the promise/A+ specs according to promiseA+-tests
