flow-framework

The Flow Framework is custom framework based on the FBP (Flow-based Programming) paradigm.

The idea is to allow any ES6 Javascript module that extends the Flow class to be easily and seemlessly integrated into the client-side or server-side of an application built using the Flow Framework.

flow-framework-cli

This tool may be installed by running

npm install --global flow-framework-cli

Once installed, a flow project can be started using

flow init

The folder structure of the project should look something like this:

package.json
node_modules
src
 - all     <- modules intended for both client and server-side use
 - server  <- server-only modules
 - web     <- client-only modules

Build the project with

flow build

Once built, you can run the default flow server with

flow run

This will start both the server-side flow node and a web server for hosting the client-side code.
