## altseven

v 9.1.4

A JavaScript framework. Originally built as an exploration into reactive programming with JavaScript. Now a full-fledged Web framework.

Compile on CLI from root folder:

    `$ grunt clean`

To install dev dependencies from NPM:

    `$ npm install`

## Current Version - 9.1.4

Bug fix for `View.render()` permanently unregistering a child view rendered before its parent's first paint, when the mount point simply did not exist yet; see release notes for details.

## Installation

`$ npm install altseven`

You only need to install dependencies from npm to work on the altseven framework, or for optional modules:

gadget-ui can be used for the FloatingPane as a container for the debugging console.

    $ npm install altseven

Handlebars can be used as the templating engine.

    $ npm install handlebars

modlazy can be used as a module/dependency loader if you use Handlebars or Mustache for rendering

    $ npm install modlazy

## Documentation

## Running the Sample App

### NodeJS

$ node index.js

from the root of the project and access the sample apps at:

127.0.0.1:8800/test/index.html.

### CFML

The CFML engine test has been deprecated and may not be functional.

To run the example application included in the /test folder, you need a CFML engine. The easiest way to run it is to install CommandBox:

If you are running Linux, you can follow directions on my blog for installing CommandBox:

If you prefer to see altseven in action with a NodeJS backend, you can clone the git repo for tasklist:
