Slot

Framework

Closing the gap between client and server side.


Generate a MVC layer for your project that reuse the same code on client and server side.


That's our goal.

Open Source

Slot Framework is released under the MIT License and maintained by many collaborators in the GitHub community.

Built in Node.js

Take advantage of the language that really cross the line between platforms and technologies. The nature of JavaScript has become it a language that is used today in many areas like databases (MongoDB), web browsers, and finally Node.js.

Relay on Npm

Node Packaged Modules is the best option to centralize Node.js modules. Slot is deployed on Npmjs.org index to easy use and distribution, just type npm install slot-cli in your command line to start coding your project.

Today's technologies

Disruptive client side frameworks are the perfect option to work with Slot, we can accomplish excellent results and a plethora of screen sizes using; Bootstrap, Zurb Foundation, Yahoo UI, JQuery, JQuery UI and many others.

Simple and Natural

Built over the premise, that the native environment of a browser is compounded for HTML+CSS+JavaScript, and today's web designs requires HTML5+CCS3 to ensure responsive and functionality in a lot of screen sizes.

Design and Prototyping First

Slot puts the focus on reuse every piece of work you have done on design/prototyping, that is why Slot provides a methodology to organize the page in fragments, and define data-models that fragments will be using.

Modular Template Engine

A web page contains many spaces to insert data portions. This spaces are called Slots, and the portions are called Fragments, finally, a fragment is binded to a HTML template. This way keep your development using pure and powerful HTML.

RESTful Api

Develop your REST Services faster, use the API to easy implement your web services. The responses can be done as a Single Objects or Array Objects, and built-in Native Server Side Pagination with scrolling methods (current, first, next, last).
