Fai NPM | npm.io

Fai (ﬁ)

A NodeJS's framework for practical web development. It provides a lot of shortcuts and eases the life of those involved in development on any kind of web content (even newbies).

Its main purpose is to be readable, as consistent as possible (in web development that's kind of difficult given the amount of technologies involved), but above all things, practical. Everything is wrapped around the idea of facilitating the creation and maitanence of code.

ﬁ is really just a wrapper around express, stylus and jade, with a bunch of rules and shortcuts.

Requirements

Node v0.12+

Currently ﬁ has only been tested in Mac and linux, any help testing and/or fixing bugs for windows will be greatly appreciated.
