What is GMWK?

Javascript object and HTML template loader.
Object and template cache.
A name space.
Helps with debugging dynamically created Javascript objects.

Features at a glance

Objects can be loaded in two different ways:

Instantiating a new object instance and optionally associating zero or more templates with it.
Initialized from the URL, this is called routing.

Objects are loaded into a layout. The layout consists of a template and optionally an object called the layout controller. If the layout has a controller it should preferably be called the same name as the template, i.e. Dashboard.html and Dashboard.js
The stage is loaded with the index page.
The stage does not change with the layout.
At any given point in time what we see inside the browser window is also called a page. The page consists of the stage, a template and zero or more objects.

Requirements

These libraries are used by GMWK

How do I get started with GMWK?

If you have SVN installed grab the latest version with this command:

svn checkout http://gmwk.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gmwk-read-only

Otherwise there is also a link on the download page. Download gmwk_rXX.zip and unzip to a location of your choice.

To run the application just open index.html using your favorite browser (File > Open). However, we strongly recommend you use something with developer tools like Google Chrome or Firefox + Firebug.

Also check out the Wiki.
