direct manipulation of structured content

##Getting started

FOR NEW REPOS:

To set up strvct submodule, from within project folder run:

git submodule add https://github.com/stevedekorte/strvct.net.git strvct

If you want to deploy your app on Github Pages, you'll need to add a .nojekyll file to your root folder.

Build system is currently setup for VSCode. To open the project, open this root source folder in VSCode.

First, you'll need to start the local HTTPS web server by running:

	node local-web-server/main.js

in the root source folder. VSCode should have a "launch local HTTPS" run option you can now use to launch the app. It will launch Chrome, and the first time you'll need to select a button to tell it to ignore the lack of a proper SSL setup (as we are using a local server).

To work on debugging or writting code, you'll want to install the following VCCode extensions:

• ESLint (from Microsoft),
• JavaScript Debugger nightly (from Microsoft)
• json (by ZainChen)

You may need to install eslint if you don't already have it.

npm init @eslint/config -g The above line installs it gloablly. For more info, see: https://eslint.org/docs/latest/user-guide/getting-started

To get Eslint to work with Ecmascript6 (which this project uses), you may need to add a .eslintrc configuration file to your home directory. Here's mine:

{ "env": { "es6": true } }

If this doesn't work, you may need to check your VSCode settings, like verifying this setting:

	eslint.enable: true

And you may need to run: eslint init Sorry I don't have better eslint instructions. I got it working but may have forgotten how.

• meta object framework (slots)
• extensive OO extensions to common classes
• desktop like web OO UI framework
• architecture and protocol for model-to-view naked object UI, standard field components
• miller column insired stacking UI framework
• notifications system
• auto syncing system/protocol between model and views
• integrated theming system
• client side object persistence / object pool framework
• gesture recognition framework
• package builder & boot and client side caching system
• auto resource management, loading, and caching system
• common protocol for resources such as fonts, sounds, images, icons, json data files
