@drumee/ui-core

The Drumee rendering engine — the client-side framework that turns JSON component trees into a working interface.

npm i @drumee/ui-core

What it is

A client-side MVC framework built on Backbone.js and Backbone.Marionette. It provides LETC, a JSON-based UI description system: instead of writing HTML or templates, you describe a screen as a tree of components, and this library builds the DOM.

It ships the kind registry, the skeleton builders and the widget implementations. It has no build step of its own — bundling is the job of the consuming application, which for the Drumee workspace is ui-team.

How it loads

The library is loaded for its side effects. It waits for a drumee:bootstraping DOM event with name = 'locale', then:

1. Loads jQuery, Lodash, Backbone.Marionette and the jQuery-UI draggable and resizable behaviours.
2. Patches the Backbone and Marionette prototypes from letc/addons/.
3. Exports its globals onto window: Kind, Skeletons, Preset, Template, Host, Visitor, Organization, DrumeeMFS, LetcBox, LetcList, LetcText, LetcBlank.
4. Dispatches drumee:bootstraping with name = 'core' to signal readiness.

letc/index.js is the entry point.
