Ignite.js is a package to help design, implement and debug asynchronous software. It is a framework that allows state machines to be described in a natural, understandable way within JavaScript. It is focused on being quick and easy to use, whilst providing powerful tools to help the design, implementation and deployment stages.
- Simplified asynchronous and behavioural design for node.js
- Remove callbacks
- Handle multiple EventEmitters easily
- Allow structured system design
- Fully asynchronous
- Useful plug-ins to support common asynchronous patterns
- node.js asynchronous functions
- Parallel list handling (e.g.
reduce,map,each) - Handling multiple machines
- Easily create visual representations of the code (state diagrams and, coming soon, sequence diagrams)
- Simply distribute the behaviour across multiple processes
- Support tools to help design, debug and deploy
