##What is Emily?

  • Emily is a JS library for building scalable web applications.
  • It's runtime agnostic as it doesn't rely on the DOM.
  • It's ready for realtime applications.
  • It's only a set of AMD/commonJS modules, your module loader is the framework
  • It's ready for being used with other frameworks.
  • It only relies on standard features
  • It eases the development of MV* applications by providing the M

##What modules does it provide?

  • Observable: the all mighty observer design pattern.
  • Store: the spine of your MV* application.
  • Promise: a fully compliant promise/A+ implementation following promiseA+-tests
  • StateMachine: don't hide your states and transitions behind if/else anymore.
  • Transport: make requests to anything node.js has access to.
  • Tools: these functions you always need and rewrite.
  • Router: set routes with associated actions and navigate to them while keeping tack of the history

##How do I use it?

npm install emily
	var emily = require("emily");

	var StateMachine = emily.StateMachine;
	var Observable = emily.Observable;
	var Promise = emily.Promise;
	var Router = emily.Router;
	var StateMachine = emily.StateMachine;
	var Store = emily.Store;
	var Tools = emily.Tools;
	var Transport = emily.Transport;

	// ...
