Pantheon

Node.js web server focused on performance and simplicity using the latest technologies

⚠️ This is a personal project that I decided to open-source and the strategies used can be possitive or not depending on the type of website you want to build, it's not meant for a general public use.

Features

CSS class renaming

*Difference between development and production code

Exporting class names

.login-tab .exportTitle {
  font-size: 20px;
  color: #000;
}

The code above will result into something like this: .NjA-NTk .exportTitle

Resource bundles

You can create bundles that contains multiple static resources and require them when needed.

module.exports = {
  path: '/route',
  
  assets: [
    'style!route-style',
    'script!route-script'
  ],
  
  // ..
};

<style>@import url("{{ assets.get('style!route-style') }}");

Effective asset distribution

While on development all assets will be called following this syntax:

/_/pantheon/_/b={resourceBundle}/{resourceType}/rs={resourceName}

On production, the resource name will be replaced by a string concatenation of the last modification time of the file with the resource name (string is hashed).

DOM binding

The jsaction attribute

<!-- <div jsaction="evt:method;evt:method.." /> -->

<button jsaction="click:button.alert">
  <span>Show alert!</span>
</button>

<input type="text" jsaction="input:input.change">

bind('button.alert', () => alert('Hello world!'));
bind('input.change', (evt) => alert(evt.target.value));

The jsname attribute

Since all the elements class attributes are minified on production, we didn't have a solid way to reference a desired HTML element so we decided to create the jsname attr which acts as a reference to the desired HTML element.

<div class="class-name another-class" jsname="my-button"></div>

let div = document.querySelector('[jsname="my-button"]');

NOTE: The value inside jsname attr is minified so everything that doesn't pass through the build process won't work on production

Installation

You can get the latest stable release from the releases page or git clone https://github.com/iiegor/pantheon.

Once you've downloaded it, you are ready to run $ npm install / yarn install to install all the needed dependencies by the server.

Tasks

npm run dev

Run server in development mode.

npm run build

Compile and minify all assets.

npm run start

Run a production version of the server (need to run npm run build before)
