Montage Data is a framework that allows Montage applications to easily exchange data with servers. It maps server data to model objects accessible in application code, allowing complex server operations to be performed by reading and writing the properties of model objects obtained with simple queries and by traversing relationships.
Montage Data is an Object Service Mapping (OSM) framework: Just like an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) framework maps relational data to application objects and vice versa, Montage Data maps REST and other services to application objects and vice versa.
Documentation can be generated by installing JSDoc 3.3.3 or newer and executing
jsdoc -c .jsdoc.conf.json in the root of the project, and it can be read by
opening the resulting out/doc/index.html in a web browser.
Developers editing Montage Data on OS X can make the documentation update
automatically whenever the source changes by copying the source's .watch.plist
file to ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.kaazing.montagedata.watch.plist, then
editing that file to replace all occurences of "/absolute/path/to/montage-data/"
with the absolute path of the source directory, and then running the following
in a terminal:
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.kaazing.montagedata.watch.plist
launchctl start ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.kaazing.montagedata.watch.plistAll non-disabled tests should always pass.
Tests can be run by executing npm install in the test subdirectory and then
loading test/index.html through a web server. Tests can be created by editing
test/index.reel/index.js.
