• Framework for frontend web development • Ideal for building
single-page applications • Best suited for projects that target modern browsers • Open source, under BSD license What is MontageJS?
• Component System • Deferred Drawing • Functional Reactive Bindings
Key Features

Key Features FRB
Components HTML Content CSS Styling FRB Bindings JS Code component.reel
Install MontageJS $ sudo npm install -gq minit@latest
Create Project $ minit create:app -n app-name Create Component $
minit create:component -n compname

Serialization • Instantiate components • Attach components to the page
DOM • Populate component properties — static values or bindings
FRB Bindings • Propagate changes between object properties • Can
be 1-way or 2-way • Bind to other components or regular JS objects
Serialization "number": { "prototype": "digit/ui/number-field.reel", "properties": { "element": {"#": "number"}
} } <input data-montage-id="number" /> HTML MJS
Serialization "number": { "prototype": "digit/ui/number-field.reel", "properties": { "element": {"#": "number"}
} } <input data-montage-id="number" /> HTML MJS Prototype: path to the desired component
Serialization "number": { "prototype": "digit/ui/number-field.reel", "properties": { "element": {"#": "number"}
} } <input data-montage-id="number" /> HTML MJS Element: Montage ID of DOM element
"number": { "prototype": "digit/ui/number-field.reel", "properties": { "element": {"#": "number"} }
}, "slider": { "prototype": "digit/ui/slider.reel", "properties": { "element": {"#": "slider"} }, "bindings": { "value": {"<->": "@number.value"} } } Adding a 2nd component <input data-montage-id="number" /> <input data-montage-id="slider" type="range" /> HTML MJS
"number": { "prototype": "digit/ui/number-field.reel", "properties": { "element": {"#": "number"} }
}, "slider": { "prototype": "digit/ui/slider.reel", "properties": { "element": {"#": "slider"} }, "bindings": { "value": {"<->": "@number.value"} } } <input data-montage-id="number" /> <input data-montage-id="slider" type="range" /> HTML MJS <-> signifies a 2-way binding
"number": { "prototype": "digit/ui/number-field.reel", "properties": { "element": {"#": "number"} }
}, "slider": { "prototype": "digit/ui/slider.reel", "properties": { "element": {"#": "slider"} }, "bindings": { "value": {"<->": "@number.value"} } } <input data-montage-id="number" /> <input data-montage-id="slider" type="range" /> HTML MJS @ references an existing component
"celsiusNumber": { "prototype": "digit/ui/number-field.reel", "properties": { "element": {"#": "celsius"} },
"bindings": { "value": {"<->": "(
[email protected]
- 32) / 1.8"} } } MJS Complex FRB Expressions
! "sorted": {"<-": “numbers.sorted{}”} ! "evens": {"<-": “numbers.filter{!(%2)}”} ! "low":
{"<-": “numbers.filter{this <= ^maxNumber}”} ! "allChecked": {"<-": “options.every{checked}”} ! "payroll": {"<-": “departments.map{employees.sum{salary}}.sum()”} ! "index": {"<-": “folks.group{id}.sorted{.0}.map{.1.last()}”} MJS Fun with FRB
• Command line tool that optimizes apps for production deployment
• Consolidates code into bundles to reduce number of requests • Minifies code to reduce total download size MontageJS Optimizer
