Constraint

Constraint is a project that aims to implement a professional UI Web Application Framework for the browser. The advantage of using the Constraint Framework, is that the layout of the application is decoupled form the code of the application, and it's written on a typed language - Typescript.

Features

• Typescript strict library
• 100% OOP, no "hacks" and no other obfuscations
• Auto-documentation
• GNU make compliant
• Separates UI from the code, by using a text file format called "ui". UI is UI, code is code. This greately improves code reusability and modularity.
• works on Winows and Linux, because it's using open source projects

Online Demo

You can see a sample Constraint application at this address.

Note that the online demo is automatically built from git, and some times it might not be available.

make doc_install

After you have the "typedoc" installed, you can build the documentation by typing:

make doc

After you have the "dts-generator" installed, you can build the documentation by typing:

make dts
