Announcing jQuery-Claypool (http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Claypool)
jquery-claypool is a small, concise, fast, railable javascript application framework, built as a jquery-plugin that provides all the usual important patterns for large, long-lived client-side apps, server-side apps, or something strangely, beautifully in the middle. like django, rails, and spring but built for jquery. jquery-claypool provides a powerful routing framework, simple scanners for nearly-zero configuration, highly optimized category logging, aspect oriented filters, automagically managed inversion of control, single point of entry, swappable environments and minimal requirement mvc. and if all of those big words don't scare you away, jquery-claypool will make your life simpler, cheaper, and most importantly lazier. cheers to lazy. jquery-claypool is both a client (browser) and server-side framework that fits in a compressed, gzipped file that is smaller than jquery itself. we can achieve this by simply allowing you to use whatever model and view plugins you love the most, while simultaneously letting you write controllers the same way you would write event handler without jquery-claypool. i.e. there is no notion of framework required extension patterns. you decide how you like to write and we just wire it up cleanly and most importantly, transparently. dependencies * works with jquery 1.2.6 and 1.3.2(client) * requires livequery (soon we will add live()) Download / fork / watch jquery-claypool at github http://github.com/thatcher/jquery-claypool/tree/master Join the discussion group / mailing list at Google Groups: http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-claypool Report any bugs you find on the bug tracker http://claypooljs.lighthouseapp.com/ Documentation is being constructed at jquery plugins http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Claypool * Small, 14K gzipped. * MIT/GPL Style License. * Scales memory effeciency. * Powered by jQuery. jquery-claypool comes with template projects to get you rolling in minutes.
