Ambition Framework 0.2
What is the Ambition Web Framework?
Ambition is a next-generation MVC web application framework, empowering developers to create beautiful and expressive applications in minimal time, and scale them to incredible heights. Written in and targeted at the Vala programming language, find out how to get all the benefits of a static-typed language without the pain or verbosity.
Requirements
Ambition is written in the Vala programming language, and relies on other libraries for its functionality. To build, you will need:
- Vala 0.54.0 or higher
- Meson 0.60 or higher
At minimum, the following libraries are required:
- glib-2.0 (2.32 or higher)
- gio-2.0
- gee-0.8
- readline
- libsoup-2.4
- json-glib-1.0
- log4vala-0.2 (https://github.com/nmelnick/Log4Vala)
Installation
The main branch is the current development branch, and may not be as stable
as a release tag. For production, choose a release tag and build from there.
To install the project from the Git repository, you will need Vala 0.54 or higher, and the Meson build system. Check out the repository, enter the repository directory, and enter the following:
meson --prefix=/usr builddir
cd builddir
ninja
sudo ninja install
Docker
This project can also be run directly from Docker. To build the Docker container locally:
docker build --tag ambition:latest .
docker run -it ambition:latest
Hacking and Recommendations
TBD, but:
Development Environment
Highly recommend the Vala Language Server and something along the lines of the Vala plugin for VS Code.
Linting
docker run -v "$PWD":/app valalang/lint:latest /usr/bin/io.elementary.vala-lint -c vala-lint.conf .
