Flight is a lightweight, component-based JavaScript framework that maps behavior to DOM nodes. Twitter uses it for their web applications. By way of example, we've included a simple email client demo (browse the source) built over the Flight framework. There's also a flight implementation over on the todoMVC site. Flight uses jQuery and requires a module loader with support for AMD, like WebPack or Require.js. Please read the Flight documentation for installation instructions. Flight is distinct from existing frameworks in that it doesn't prescribe or provide any particular approach to rendering or providing data to a web application. It's agnostic to how requests are routed, which templating language you use or even if you render your HTML on the client or the server. While some web frameworks encourage developers to arrange their code around a prescribed model layer, Flight is organized around the existing DOM model with functionality mapped directly to DOM nodes.

Features

  • Flight enforces strict separation of concerns
  • Events are open ended
  • When a component triggers an event it has no knowledge of how its request will be satisfied or by whom
  • Get event propagation for free
  • Each component is a module
  • Flight is organized around the existing DOM model with functionality mapped directly to DOM nodes
