By "metal" I meant the browser, so avoiding heavy libs.
Comment · 5 years ago
I have noticed newer generations of developers believe they need heavy frameworks like React to develop web applications. Most apps don't need such heavy frameworks. Here's a 500-line "framework" (if you can call it that) https://github.com/Rajeev-K/mvc-router and here's an example app built using it: https://github.com/Rajeev-K/eureka For templates I used https://github.com/wisercoder/uibuilder which is a 200-line lib. This is about as "close to the metal" as you can get, and still be productive.

> Both github and gitlab have it
If you want to search code sitting on your local hard disk try this tool (built on top of Lucene):
https://github.com/Rajeev-K/eureka
I made it when I was frustrated by existing tools such as sourcegraph and opengrok.

> SPA pattern has failed to simplify web development
The SPA pattern is fine, it is React Router and Redux that has overcomplicated things.
Here's an example of an app written using the MVC pattern that is way simpler than the React stack: https://github.com/Rajeev-K/eureka
It uses two very simple libs:
A 500-line router: https://github.com/Rajeev-K/mvc-router/
A 200-line templating library that uses JSX syntax: https://github.com/wisercoder/uibuilder/

I would like to demo a simpler alternative to Vue and React: manipulate DOM directly. I do it in this application:
https://github.com/Rajeev-K/eureka
I find myself more productive coding directly against DOM APIs, using these tiny libs:
MVC router (500 lines): https://github.com/Rajeev-K/mvc-router/
JSX templating (200 lines): https://github.com/wisercoder/uibuilder

If there is anything I am trying to prove it is that you don't need complicated frameworks like Angular or React. Those frameworks have gotten too complex for what they do.

Yes, and the MVC framework is all of 500 lines of code and can be used with React too:

Here's an example of a vanilla JS app with good architecture: https://github.com/Rajeev-K/eureka

Any valid Visual Basic.NET expression is supported. Here are some examples:
(latestquote - previousquote) / previousquote
iif(isonlineorder, "Online", "Retail")
FirstName & " " & LastName
iif(IsNothing(Amount), "Amount missing", Format(Amount, "c2"))
"Q" & ((OrderDate.Month - 1) \ 3 + 1)
MonthName(DatePart(DateInterval.Month, Today), false)
DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, 1, Today)
