RoundHouse - A Javascript Framework using knockout.js
NOTE: This framework is evolving live. It is not ready for third party use yet.
Why build a framework on top of knockout.js?
In the course of building a fairly complex application with knockout.js (Folderus) I found that once you cross a certain threshold of complexity a single view model knockout.js application becomes unweildy.
I'm building this framework to standardize the following elements:
- hiding/showing page elements based on window.location.hash contents
- enabling multiple view model binding in a single html file
- providing object encapsulation using the module pattern with a well defined api interface between modules
External Dependencies
- knockout.js 1.3 beta
- jQuery 1.6.3
- jQuery templates
- ba-hashchange
Examples
- Flicker Explorer: a Flickr search app that defines a search view, a list view and a thumb view
