ignite.js

Ignite.js is a package to help design, implement and debug asynchronous software. It is a framework that allows state machines to be described in a natural, understandable way within JavaScript. It is focused on being quick and easy to use, whilst providing powerful tools to help the design, implementation and deployment stages.

Reasons to Use

• Simplified asynchronous and behavioural design for node.js
  • Remove callbacks
  • Handle multiple EventEmitters easily
  • Allow structured system design
  • Fully asynchronous
• Useful plug-ins to support common asynchronous patterns
  • node.js asynchronous functions
  • Parallel list handling (e.g. reduce, map, each)
  • Handling multiple machines
• Easily create visual representations of the code (state diagrams and, coming soon, sequence diagrams)
• Simply distribute the behaviour across multiple processes
• Support tools to help design, debug and deploy
