Este.js - The evolutionary JavaScript Framework and Dev Stack

• statically compiled CoffeeScript
• Google Closure Tools
• Mocha tests
• Stylus styles
• Dev Node.js server
• Este.js framework
  • a lot of classes
  • MVC mobile first framework
• settings and snippets for Sublime Text
• run.coffee

With Este.js, just run one script to automatically update deps.js, run all your Mocha unit tests, and compile CoffeeScript, Stylus, and Soy templates. LiveReload supported.

Tested on and compatible for OSX, Linux, and Windows.

The bulk of the application is a well-documented, thoroughly tested JavaScript framework, written in statically-typed CoffeeScript. This allows you to write powerful and efficient code for mobile devices and browsers.

Consider it boilerplate for mobile first development, an offline capable MVC web application, streamlined for the developer user experience.

Quick Start Guide

• Install Node.js (0.8+), Java, Python (Windows needs version < 3)

More Information

The app examples defines structure, feature-based namespacing, template behaviour, custom events, and compilation, all in one compact location.

We're actively working on a mobile version for ShopMVC on this stack, which should give greater clarity by means of example. In the meantime, take a look at the assets/js/* namespaces and assets/js/este/demos/ demos.
