micro

Toolkit for social micro web apps.

For a quick introduction on how to build an application with micro, have a look at the included example in hello.

Requirements

The following software is required and must be set up on your system:

• Python >= 3.9
• Node.js >= 12.21
• Redis >= 6.0

micro should work on any POSIX system.

Installing dependencies

To install the dependencies for micro, type:

make deps

Browser support

micro supports the latest version of popular browsers (i.e. Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari; see http://caniuse.com/ ).

Deprecation policy

Features marked as deprecated are removed after a period of six months.

Boilerplate

The boilerplate directory contains base files for any micro app repository. They are not required, but may come in handy when bootstrapping a new project.

Simply copy the files from boilerplate over to the new repository and substitute all place holders (with curly braces, like {name}). Over time, extend the files as needed with app-specific details.

Public domain components

While micro is covered by the LGPL, the following modules are released into the public domain:

• jsonredis
• ratelimit
• webapi
• bind.js
• keyboard.js
