Yaap

Yaap is a generic annotation processor for javascript. It can be used to implement cross-cutting concerns and inject additional aspect oriented code.

It supports annotations at class-, function- and parameter-level of javascript objects. (see examples)

• See Readme for more information and usage, e.g. on using @Autowired-annotation
• See Video Demonstration for a quick Overview
• Try it using the yeoman generator generator-yaap-express

There are also three examples for server and client scenario:

• On Node
• With Express.js
• In Browser

Example application

There is a more complex web application example developed with wire and a lot of yaap-features: yaap-nodepad
