matchbox

Strike anywhere!

Info

Matchbox is a framework for building apps with web techonlogies. It's aim is to help manage fron-end code. It provides a cli tool for bootstrapping, a standardized directory structure to organise source files, and a config file that ties all this together.

Other modules built on top of it can provide solutions for views, models and everything else.

Read more about the cli in the docs.

namespaces

Running matchbox init, among other things, will generate you a directory structure. You can select which namespaces your project uses, so the ones that are not relevant won't cluter your project.

The root may be the same as the project root, but you can also use it to isolate front-end code from the rest of the code.

Read more about namespaces in the docs.

project
  └───<root>
    ├───generators
    ├───tasks
    ├───ui
    ├───libs
    ├───utils
    └───polyfills

config file

.matchboxrc.json

Running matchbox init will generate a config file in the cwd. The namespace, root, and name fields will be populated with the values you provided during the init process.

  "name": "",
  "root": "",
  "namespace": {},
