Just a library. No architecture behind.
Performance.
None

Ext.application({ name: 'MyApp', profiles: ['Phone', 'Tablet'] }); ! Ext.define('MyApp.profile.Phone', {

Dislike
Mobile only iOS, Android, BB, WP
Size matters
None
User don’t need the whole app from the start.
User don’t need the whole app at all.
None
Like
• Flexible • Small & Simple • Possibility to define
any architecture style
Dislike
• No architecture defined • No UI representation
Concept.
1. Independent customizable modules 2. Lazy loading 3. Device profiles
4. Device dependent templates 5. Easy UI elements
Device Profiles
XF.define(‘My App', function () { ! return new XF.App({ initialize:
function() { }, ! device: { types : [ { name : 'tablet', range : { max : 1024, min : 569 }, templatePath : 'tablet/', defaultAnimation: 'fade' }, !
XF.define(‘MyApp’, function () { ! return new XF.App({ ! device:
{ types : [ { name : 'ios', range : { max : 1024, min : 320 }, supports : ['isIOS'], templatePath : 'ios/', defaultAnimation: 'slideleft' }, !
Modules
Module View Collection Model Model Model
Module View Model
XF.define('componentClassName', function () { ! return XF.Component.extend({ Collection: XF.Collection.extend({ url:
'/rest/cities' }), // View Class === XF.View by default initialize: function() { // do some stuff here } }); ! });
XF.define('componentClassName', ['collections/collectionClass', 'collections/viewClass'], function (Collection, View) { return XF.Component.extend({ Collection:
Collection, View: View, initialize: function() { // do some stuff here } }); });
Module loading
<div data-component="componentClass" data-id=“componentID"> ! This text is visible while component
is loading ! </div>
<div data-component="componentClass" data-id="componentID" data-device-type="desktop"> ! This text is visible while
component is loading ! </div>
Customization
<div data-component="componentClass" data- id=“componentID"> ! <script> XF.setOptionsByID('componentID', {foo: 'bar'}); </script>
! </div>
Device-dependent templates
<div data-component="componentClass" data-id="componentID"> <script> XF.setOptionsByID('componentID', {foo: 'bar'}); </script> </div> components/componentClass.js
new ComponentClass(options); tmpl/deviceProfile/componentClass.tmpl tmpl/mobile/componentClass.tmpl // is visible rest/c
<div data-component="componentClass" data-id=“componentID" /> components/componentClass.js // is visible new ComponentClass(options);
tmpl/ deviceProfile/ componentClass.tmpl rest/componentClass/ // loading JS if it’s needed // rendering <div data-component="componentClass" data-id="componentID"> <ul class="xf-list" data-role="listview">
! Progressive Enhancement?
! Progressive Enhancement? Look ma, we still need backend
UI Elements
None
<ul data-role="listview"> <li data-role="divider">A</li> <li> <h2>Header</h2> <p>No link</p> </li> <li><a
href="#">Simple link</a></li> <li data-role="divider">Divider</li> <li> <h2>Header</h2> <p>Header and description</p> </li> </ul> Write Less
<ul data-role="listview" data-skip-enhance="true" id="xf-8293" class="xf-listview"> <li class=" xf-li xf-li-divider">A</li> <li
class="xf-li-static xf-li"> <div class="xf-li-wrap"> <h2 class="xf-li-header">Header</h2> <p class="xf-li-desc">No link</p> </div> </li> <li class=" xf-li"> <a href="#" class="xf-li-btn"> Simple link <div class="xf-btn-text"></div> </a> </li> <li class=" xf-li xf-li-divider">Divider</li> <li class=" xf-li"> <a href="#" class="xf-li-btn"> <div class="xf-btn-text"> <h2 class="xf-li-header">Header</h2> <p class="xf-li-desc">Header and description</p> </div> </a> </li> </ul> …do nothing
Wrapping up.
Pages.
What if page switching could work together with router?
<div class="xf-page" data-id="home">…</div> XF.define(function () { return new XF.App({ router:
{ routes: { '/': 'home' }, ! home: function() { // ... } },

Communication mechanics.
// if component is not loaded or constructed // events
will wait until it will be ! XF.trigger('component:componentID:eventName'); ! XF.trigger('component:componentClass:eventName'); Q of deferred
