that.js ======= Advanced Node.js framework featuring Evented Evolution Engine, Seamless State Sharing, and Plugin-optimized Operation [![build status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/carlos8f/that.js.png)](http://travis-ci.org/carlos8f/that.js) What is that? ------------- That provides everything you need to build a speedy, fault-taulerant, robust Node.js application. Once you use that, you won't want to go back to this! ### Features - Seamless State Sharing (SSS) - Global Application Awareness (GAA) - Evented Evolution Engine (EEE) - Plugin-optimized Operation (POO) - Extremely [high performance](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bob-Marley-in-Concert_Zurich_05-30-80.jpg) Installation ------------ ### That for applications To start using that, simply: ```bash $ npm install --save that ``` And in your application: ```javascript var that = require('that'); // require plugins down here... // use that... ``` By requiring that, your plugins will share the Global Application Awareness (GAA). That's it! ### That for plugins That enables easy plugin development via POO and SSS. If you're writing a plugin module, you don't even need to install that! In that case, just require that to get that: ```javascript var that = require('that'); ``` That's Seamless State Sharing (SSS) will take care of the rest (you'll get the same exact that that your application is using). To write your plugin, just interact with that! API --- That's Evented Evolution Engine (EEE) is based on the well-tested Node.js core [EventEmitter](http://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_events_eventemitter). Study that! Example application ------------------- An fully-functional, modular website application example is provided [here](https://github.com/carlos8f/that.js/tree/master/examples/app). FAQ --- ### Is that a joke? No! See the [example](https://github.com/carlos8f/that.js/tree/master/examples/app) if you don't believe me. ### Do I really need that? Of course not. ### I've never seen anything quite like that.
