 (Unrelated to ClojureScript's re-frame.)



Instead of being one big monolith,

Reframe is merely a collection of:

- Do-one-thing-do-it-well tools.

- Starters, to quickly scaffold fully-featured apps.

Reframe gives you the same guidance and development speed as a big monolith but with zero sacrifice on control and flexibility.

**[Warning]** This project is experimental and currently not being worked on.

I do intend to make progress on it but not in the next couple of months.

That said, Goldpage and Wildcard are production-ready tools that you can use today;

I actively maintain them and I will fix any bug that you may encounter.

 

:hammer_and_wrench: **Tools**



Do-one-thing-do-it-well tools are the backbone of Reframe.

We use React, Node.js, and develop our own:

- [Goldpage](https://github.com/reframejs/goldpage) -

  Page Builder —

  create a modern frontend.

- [Wildcard API](https://github.com/reframejs/wildcard-api) -

  Functions as API —

  create an API between your Node.js backend and your browser frontend.

- [ProtoDB](https://github.com/brillout/proto-db) -

  A simple filesystem-based database for prototypes and small to medium-sized apps.

- **Auto-Deploy** -

  Simple and fully automatic single-machine deployment.

  [Work-in-progress]

Each of our tools can be used individually and independently of each other.

For a quick start,

you can use a starter which pre-assembles a stack for you.

You can also assemble a stack yourself.

For example,

if your company is more experienced with Vue than React,

you can use Vue instead of React.

If you need mutli-machine deployments, you can use Docker instead of our single-machine deployment tool.

If you need to provide an API to third-party developers,

you can use GraphQL instead of RPC.

Etc.

With Reframe,

you own your stack,

you keep your freedom.

 

:rocket: **Starters**

Our starters assemble tools into well-polished scaffolds.

We design our starters to be simple and to include only what you need.

- [Reframe Proto](https://github.com/reframejs/reframe-proto) -

  Frontend (React, Goldpage) + Backend (Node.js, Hapi) + API (Wildcard).

  


  Reframe Proto assembles tools for rapid-prototyping.

  Start building your app today,

  deliver your first MVP tomorrow,

  and progressively replace rapid-prototyping tools with entreprise-grade tools as you scale.

- [Reframe Frontend](https://github.com/reframejs/reframe-frontend) -

  Frontend (React, Goldpage).

  


  If you don't need a backend or you already have one,

  you can use our frontend-only stack.

Our starters enable you to develop

with the same guidance and high development speed as classical frameworks

while keeping your freedom.

 

:crystal_ball: **Future-Proof**

Instead of being a big monolith,

Reframe is merely a collection of:

- Do-one-thing-do-it-well tools.

- Starters.

This fundamentally different approach enables:

- Reframe to adopt the technologies of tomorrow.

- You can replace technologies as you scale.

In short, Reframe is future-proof.

We call our approach the [Zero-LOC framework](/zero-loc-framework.md).
