Documentation

The mojo.js documentation is structured into two parts, the tutorial everyone starts with, and multiple guides that explain all major features in detail.

Some parts of the documentation only use simplified single file web applications for examples, but that’s merely a convenience for the reader. Almost all features are exactly the same for full well-structured mojo.js applications.

Basics

• Learning Web Technologies

  All web development starts with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, to learn the basics we recommend the Mozilla Developer Network. And if you want to know more about how browsers and web servers actually communicate, there’s also a very nice introduction to HTTP.

Conventions

• Variable names

  For brevity and clarity, example variables will reflect the type of data the API uses. For instance, ctx to denote a Context object, and app to denote the App object.

  A fast and minimalistic HTML/XML DOM parser with CSS selectors.

• @mojojs/template

  A very fast embedded JavaScript template engine.

• @mojojs/path
