starter-framework7

A starter project structure for framework7 app, using Node and Express for server rendering, the MVVM lib -- Vue.js is optional, but highly recommended, because it could help us to improve building modern web interfaces simply and efficiently.

It is not only a template boilerplate, but a toolkit for development, which is made by a series of custom tasks written in js, and some useful middlewares for express, for the purpose of getting rid of the traditional gulp.

For example:

• using jade client template engine.
• using stylus and autoprefixer middleware to compile css.
• using browserify and babelify middleware to transform ES6/ES7 to ES5 code.

Feature

• Contain both iOS and Material Themes in single app.
• All pages stored locally, so don't need additional xhr to load page.
• Encapsulate get and post methods for fetching server data with comprehensive response handler (timeout, error etc).
• Reusable components powered by Vue which made code simple and neat, more focus on the business logic.
• Isomorphic js according to Babel (it seems not very useful so far).
