Feature Oriented Active Modeller
FOAM is a modeling tool and class based object system. To use FOAM, you create a model of your class by describing the properties, methods, event topics, listeners, and dependencies of your class. FOAM takes this model and generates a usable JavaScript class along with several companion features such as database support and network marshaling.
While FOAM is written in JavaScript, it can be used to generate code for any language or platform, including Android Java and iOS Swift.
Development
Building Java
cd src; ./gen.sh; cd ../build; cp ../tools/pom.xml .; mvn compile; mvn package
Or you may build and run using
make run
And to clean the project, you may use
make clean
Installing Dependencies
FOAM has no runtime dependencies, but uses a number of third party tools for unit tests, code coverage, and linting. You can install all required tools by doing the following.
-
Install nodejs.
-
Run 'npm install' in the root of the FOAM repository, where package.json is found.
Running Application Controller
The FOAM Application Controller allows you to access components of your foam app by using the browser & displaying it as a GUI. To access, run the following in the parent directory of foam2:
-
Build java (see above)
-
Run foam2/./tools/nanos.sh
-
Visit http://localhost:8080/src/foam/nanos/controller/index.html
Style Guide
All code should follow the style guide.
Testing
-
npm test runs standard unit tests.
-
npm run testDebug runs the unit tests with a debugger.
-
npm run coverage runs code coverage and creates an html report in /coverage.
For in-browser testing, run your favorite web server at the root of the FOAM repository. In a browser, navigate to http://localhost:8000/test/browser/SpecRunner.html to run the unit tests.
