Fire.js is an experimental framework that aims to reduce the amount of javascript code and callbacks when developing in Node.js by the orchestration of tiny building blocks called Expressions defined in JSON documents.
Example JSON app using a MongoDB database and the MongoDB expressions:
MongoApp.fjson
{
"name": "MongoApp.Main",
"json": {
"enabledEmails": {
"@Mongo.Find(users)": {
"conditions": {
"enabled": true
}
},
"@each": {
"@get(CurrentItem.email)": null
}
},
"disabledEmails": {
"@Mongo.Find(users)": {
"conditions": {
"enabled": false
}
},
"@each": {
"@get(CurrentItem.email)": null
}
}
}
}
The result will be:
{
"enabledEmails": ["email1@example.com", "email2@example.com", "email3@example.com"],
"disabledEmails": ["email4@example.com", "email5@example.com", "email6@example.com"]
}
The easiest way to install fire.js is using the awesome Node Package Manager.
npm install -g fire
The firejs command line utility should be ready to run your scripts.
