Flapjax

Flapjax is a programming language developed to cater to the needs of modern, client-based Web applications. This language is equipped with features like event-driven, reactive evaluation, persistent data saved on a data store provided by Flapjax, convenient data sharing, and access control for shared data. Furthermore, Flapjax offers interfaces to external Web services and optional templating syntax.

Getting started with Flapjax is a breeze - the syntax is similar to that of JavaScript. As a result, you can run Flapjax on traditional Web browsers without the need for plug-ins or additional downloads. Additionally, you have the option to use Flapjax purely as a library in JavaScript, allowing you to integrate it into your existing programs.

To use the Flapjax compiler, you can utilize the following command: fjc [--flapjax-path=URL] [--output=FILE] script. You can specify the URL of flapjax.js using the --flapjax-path=URL option. This URL is inserted verbatim into the generated HTML, so be sure to specify the correct URL. If you are compiling for local testing, you may specify a URL to a local file. If --flapjax-path is not specified, the compiler uses the FLAPJAXPATH environment variable (if defined). If FLAPJAXPATH is not defined, the compiler uses 'flapjax.js.'

The --output=FILE option enables you to specify the destination of the generated HTML. If no output is specified, the HTML is displayed on the terminal. FILE must be a local path. Flapjax also provides the --standalone option to run the compiler in standalone mode. In standalone mode, the compiler expects Flapjax code that is not embedded in an HTML document. The --loader=NAME option (standalone mode only) specifies the name of the loader function for standalone mode. If not specified, a unique name is generated. Finally, the script option allows you to specify the path to the input Flapjax script, which must be local.
