Altiva Framework: Development for Humans

Altiva is a front-end framework and its goal is to make universal app development as human-friendly as possible. Nevertheless, besides the easiness, we also consider high performance and safety.

Altiva is open-source (MIT), written in Javascript and based on Svelte.

Features

• Easy built-in routing
• Easy component creation (HTML and CSS)
• Easy mobile packaging (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc)
• Component auto-loading and auto-caching
• Easy consumption of HTTP API's
• Easy JWT authentication
• Real-time integration with socket back-ends (in development)
• Easy route filters
• Support for APIs and backends with JWT authentication

Install

Step 1

Install Node.js and then install Altiva 2.0 globally:

npm install @altiva/altiva -g

Step 2

1. Navigate in your terminal to a directory where you organize your projects
2. Create a new Altiva project. A new folder "project_name" will be created with the base structure of files and folders.

altiva new <project_name>

1. Or, create a new Altiva project using an existing empty directory. The base structure of files and folders will be created inside of it.

altiva new .

Step 3

Start the development mode with:

altiva dev

The pre-compiled files of your project will be saved in dev folder and will run in your browser, refreshing with each modification.

Step 4

When you are done, end the dev-mode with a CTRL+C and build your project with:

altiva build

It will be compiled and saved in build folder, with additional minification and tree-shaking process.
