uki({ view: 'Button', text: 'Click me', pos: 'l:10px t:10px w:100px' }).attach();
uki('Button[text^=Click]').on('click', function() { alert(this.text()); });

Run locally¶ ↑

Install node and npm

npm install ukijs
node express.js

Goals for 0.4¶ ↑

• Keep core to bare minimum. Should be under 10KB gziped..

• Keep core and common view pack under 30KB gziped.

• Use css instead of js based themes.

• Data Model and Bindings in the core.

• Use native browser layout instead of rect() + layout()

• CommonJS require() instead of homegrown include()

• Use serverside/clientside js together

• ‘npm install uki-pack` should work on client side without any extra configuration

• Docs

• Unit tests for core

• Perf tests

Browser constrains¶ ↑

• IE7+, FF3+, Safari/Chrome latest-1, Opera 10+. Yes, no IE6 any more
