altjs

High Altitude JavaScript: Because no framework is perfect, and sometimes, no framework is perfect.

Big Problems

• We needed an iframe pointing at a distant domain with an app communicating via postMessage (ex. piracy prevention)
• Multiple tabs pointing to the same app must update in harmony (ex: two screens two tabs)

Solutions at a Glance

1. Container/Component/Repeater pattern used for UI creation that can contain multiple frameworks and even iframes.

• Compatible with XML based Application Initialization.
• Compatible with a GUI Based Builder
• Compatible with Informative Developer Tools

2. EventEmitter based GraftTree in multiple branch flavors including ACL.

• Waterfall Branch that acts as a filter
• ACL Branch that acts as a filter
• Mount Branch that injects data

Data binding example
