## What is Tessellate?
Tessellate is a server-side React service that creates static HTML and a JavaScript bundle from abstract JSON definitions. It is meant to be used as a **Fragment** as part of the [Mosaic](https://www.mosaic9.org) stack for micro services in the frontend but can be used independently as well.

## Tessellate v2
The next version of tessellate is under development in the `next` branch of this repository.
## Dynamic fragments
A **Mosaic Fragment** is a web service that provides some partial HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Multiple Fragments can be composed into a complete web page by the [Tailor](https://github.com/zalando/tailor) layout service. Tessellate is an opinionated implementation of such a Fragment.
**tessellate-fragment** responds to incoming requests based on a customizable* logic and uses React to render precompiled JavaScript bundles into static HTML. **tessellate-bundler** compiles those bundles ahead of time based on an abstract JSON document and with the help of webpack. We call this a *dynamic* Fragment because the bundles can be updated independetly from the Fragment and because they are selected dynamically for each request.
Tessellate offers a simple yet powerful solution to integrate content providers into a Mosaic stack for micro services in the frontend. Instead of implementing specialized Fragments to render different parts of a website, you can simply transform all your content into precompiled JavaScript bundles that Tessellate knows how to render. Please read the [architecture overview](https://zalando-incubator.github.io/tessellate/Architecture.html) to learn more.

## Installation
The Tessellate micro services can easily be installed as Node modules:
```
npm i --save tessellate-bundler tessellate-fragment
```
## Configuration
Each micro service reads configuration from environment variables, command line arguments or a file. See each subproject for details.
## Development
Tessellate requires Node.js >= 7.6 and uses [Lerna](https://github.com/lerna/lerna) for managing packages. Run the following commands in the root directory to get started:
```
npm install # Install dependencies and initialize packages.
npm run dist # Compile all packages.
```
We recommend using [Atom](https://atom.io) text editor together with the [Nuclide](https://nuclide.io) plugin and [Flow](https://flowtype.org) for static type checking.
Here's how to install Nuclide (requires Atom) and Flow:
```
apm install nuclide
npm install -g flow-bin
```
