Rax is a progressive framework for building universal applications.

--- 💌 **Write Once, Run Anywhere:** write one codebase, run with `Web`, [`Weex`](https://weex.apache.org/), [`Node.js`](https://nodejs.org/), `Alibaba MiniApp`, and `WeChat MiniProgram`. Rax can be used with additional containers that implement it's [driver specification](https://github.com/alibaba/rax/wiki/Driver-Specification). ⏱ **Fast:** better performance and a tiny size(📦~6KB) when compared to [React](http://reactjs.org/) using the same API. 📤 **Easy:** quick start with zero configuration, all features like `Progressive Web App (PWA)`, `Server-Side Rendering (SSR)`, and `Function as a service (FaaS)` can be used out of the box. ### Quick Start 🥢🍚 #### Start from command line Create a new Rax project using `create-rax`: ```sh $ npm init rax ``` _`npm init ` is available in npm 6+_ Start local server to launch project: ```sh $ cd $ npm install $ npm run start ``` #### Start from [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) You need to install the [AppWorks Pack](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=iceworks-team.iceworks) and invoke the `Create Application` command from the VS Code command palette (`Ctrl + Shift + P` or `Cmd + Shift + P` on Mac):  ### Developer Tools 🛠 You can inspect and modify the state of your Rax components at runtime using the [Rax Developer Tools](https://github.com/raxjs/rax-devtools) browser extension, however the extension will not work in `production` mode. 1. Install the Chrome [Rax Developer Tools](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rax-developer-tools/anpeoinhjjligmgoiepbnigjhmijblff) extension 2. Reload and go to the 'Rax' tab in the browser's development tools #### VS Code Extension You can use [AppWorks Pack](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=iceworks-team.iceworks) to get better development experience. ### Awesome Things 📝 You can find some awesome things in [awesome-rax](https://github.com/raxjs/awesome-rax). ### Contributing 🧼 Want to file a bug, contribute some code, or improve documentation?
