This is another quick post about Inesita. Lot of people asked me about differences to other framework Clearwater. I’ll try to describe them all.
First of all I want to keep Inesita a pure front-end framework. There is no integration with rails or any other backend framework. Just a browser side with tools to generate new application template, generate static files, etc.
Inesita is cure isn’t it ? There is a nice DSL for HTML Markup. And I want to make it even more useful. Right now render method look like this:
def render
div class: 'monday active' do
text 'Monday'
end
end
but this shorter version should will be also acceptable in futerue versions
def render
div.monday.active do
text 'Monday'
end
end
I want to keep Inesita as small as possible. There is opal-virtual-dom gem that is responsible for html markup.
Store is a almost empty class where you have to implement data storege that will fit your needs.
And of course live-reload - you can just disable it with if you don’t want to use it.
I think there are few other minor differences I not include here. Just to keep this post simple, simple and beautiful as Inesita ;)
