Starling is a set of architectural conventions for building web apps, disguised as a framework. It is primarily inspired by The Elm Architecture, but the concepts map fairly directly to an opinionated subset of React. If you squint, Starling is like a naive React (plus Redux) without life-cycle methods, component state, or JSX.
Run the following commands:
npm install
npm run build
Load the resulting file (dist/starling.min.js) prior to your own to add
Starling to the global namespace. For a small sample application, check out the
example directory.
Starling exposes three functions bound to starling in the global namespace
(the current build targets the browser).
Bootstraps a Starling application. createApp takes as its arguments three
functions (init, update, view) that form the backbone of Starling's
(stolen) architectural conventions. See the sample application for more
information.
const container = document.getElementById('app');
starling.createApp(init, update, view).embed(container);Register a new action. This is how you make things happen in Starling. See the sample application for more information.
// starling.newAction : ( String, ?Object = {} ) -> ()
starling.newAction('SET_INTERVAL', { value: 5 });Conveniently exposes virtual-dom/h. Read its documentation
here.
