NodeAtlas is an MVC(2) Server-side JavaScript Framework makes it easy to develop scalable websites with SEO and W3C compliance. It is designed to running indexable and localizable simple web pages or creates HTML mockups with only the view part activated. But you can activate controller part to build powerful data-oriented, component-oriented and/or service-based web apps with great real-time features and modern compliance!

NodeAtlas it's :

  • The starting point for Front-end Developers into Node.js ecosystem.
  • Pure JavaScript ; for beginners come from PHP (Laravel) / Ruby (Rails) / Python (Django) / .NET or Java or for JS experts.
  • A progressive system with:
    • a view-only system without care of controller,
    • scalable control of controllers and hooks,
    • i18n (internationalization) and l10n (localizations) quickly.
    • Express.js (web server) and Socket.io (client-server real-time connection) already configured together, easy to use and extendable,
    • EJS, Pug, Less and Stylus preprocessors ready to use,
    • internal tools for HTML Mockups Serverless or bundles, minifications, obfuscations, optimizations of CSS and JS,
    • isomorphism and server-side rendering with tools of your choice like Vue or React,
    • and more like DOM server manipulation, back-end code debuggable into browsers, easy HTTPs to setup.
  • Combinaison of severals NodeAtlas instances for service-oriented architecture like usage as API REST,
  • All npm modules, Express.js/Socket.io middleware, plugins usable (sessions, SQL/NoSQL databases, load balancing, proxy, hot-reload).
  • A French and International Guide step by step, with a community support on Gitter (Chat) [EN]https://gitter.im/NodeAtlas/Help)/[FR](https://gitter.im/NodeAtlas/Aide).
  • Web and JavaScript <3 enthusiasts!

Websites Example

Quick Start

Installer

npm install -g node-atlas

and try a standard NodeAtlas website with the README.md help

node-atlas --create hello-world

or try a Vue + NodeAtlas + SSR website with the README.md help

node-atlas --create hello-vue

Usage Explaination

Step 1 - Install

Install NodeAtlas with one of two existing way:

  • npm install node-atlas preferred for an API usage.
  • npm install -g node-atlas preferred for a CLI usage.

Step 2 - Configure

Create a webconfig.json file and dependencies files for configured your website.

website.json example for development:

{
    "languageCode": "en-gb",                /* Set the principal language. */
    "pageNotFound": "/page-404/",           /* Assign the 404 dedicated view. */
    "view": "common.htm",                   /* Assign the common layout file for view. */
    "variation": "common.json",             /* Assign the common variation file for localisation. */
    "controller": "common.js",              /* Assign the common controller file for all pages called. */
    "post": false,                          /* By default, avoid POST request on pages. */
    "bundles": "bundles.json",              /* Set CSS and JS files bundled together and minifies with an external file. */
    "htmlGenerationBeforeResponse": true,   /* Generate page currently displayed into `serverless` directory. */

    "routes": "route.json"                  /* Set all urls provided by website with an external file. */
}

Step 4 - Run!

Run NodeAtlas into the my-website folder in your development environment:

  • with your server.js file:
node server.js
  • with CLI:
node-atlas
  • for generate mockups:
node-atlas --generate

Run NodeAtlas on your production server:

  • in standard:
node-atlas --path /var/www/my-website/ --webconfig webconfig.prod.json
  • with Forever:
forever start /usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-atlas/ --path /var/www/my-website/ --webconfig webconfig.prod.json
