#quiteUI

write web App in nearly pure javascript(coffeescript) a different way

#Usage

• first you should have Node.js and coffeescript installed
• install brunch

sudo npm install -g brunch 

• this project use the extention name 'cf' for coffeescript files, so you should custom your coffeescript lib(under /usr/local/lib/node_modules/coffee-script in my ubuntu) by modify the file lib/coffee-script/coffee-script.js, in the line 23, add the 'cf' extension and the final code is:

exports.FILE_EXTENSIONS = ['.cf', '.coffee', '.litcoffee', '.coffee.md'];

• and custom the brunch by modify the coffee-script-brunch module under node_modules, change lib/index.js in the line 32,add the 'cf' extension, the final code is :

CoffeeScriptCompiler.prototype.pattern = /\.(cf|coffee|coffee\.md|litcoffee)$/;

• install dependencies and start

npm install
bower install
npm start (start development server in source watch mode) 

• visit http://localhost:3333/#todo to view the todo demo

• to start a new project based on quiteUI, just run

brunch new gh:quitejs/quiteUI <your-project-name>

• the main source code of quite is under the app/quite directory, and the demo of todo is under the app/pages/todo

#Philosopy

###programmatic HTML is a great tool to build UIs, but it's not programmatic, then we can't use the power of switch, loop, function, object, class to simplify things as we do in javascript or other programming language, so the first mission of quiteUI is to turn HTML to programmatic .

###dont't pre-encapsulation quiteUI is target to offer a set of tools, or a set of prototypes later, and encapsulate things as little as possible . you encapsulate it based on the complexity of your project .

###objective quiteUI adopt coffeescript(a meta-language of javascript) to write objective code more fancy, and make write UIs like write backend code, like write ruby code.

###modularity modulariy is great method to turn a large, complex project into little and simple ones.

###anti-MVC quiteUI use modularity than layer to simplify things, sure you can adopt any pattern inside a module if necessary

#warning quiteUI is under heavy developing, and not tested in production, you're warned.
