Ampersand.js – Minimalistic Approach to not so minimalistic Problems
summary
Claims a modular rework of Backbone style pieces into Ampersand.js with concrete results: components are separate npm modules (models, collections, views, routers), data-hook bindings replace role attributes for accessibility, the form view does validation and aggregates inputs so forms serialize and validate without glue, CLI generators create models from JSON and scaffold apps, mixins let a model swap REST sync for real-time sync, and the pieces compose and publish independently so upgrades and patches land without breaking the app.
