I am looking to building a rich app style presentation. i would like it to be a single page web app and would like to use a good web development framework to build it. However, I do not want to have any server side dependencies. corMVC seems to describe exactly what I want, but it has no documentation so I cannot be sure.
The best I can do is describe what I am looking for, I suspect I am not using the correct terminology in my searches:
- A JavaScript web development framework for developing a client side only single page web application.
- It should be well documented, maintained and up to date
- It should work either as an MVC or a static website generator like Jekyll
- It should work with routes with ready to go back button functionality
- If it worked with templates and layouts that would be great
EDIT – I left something out:
- Must parse markdown files (like Jekyll)
The reason? I would like to deploy this in a few different places, most don’t have servers. I would like to build it in an organized way just as I would with Jekyll or web2py.
Addy Osmani has implemented “ToDo” applications in the most popular Javascript MV* frameworks so that you can compare them:
