        return "<h1>Welcome to widget.js!</h1>";
    },
    domEvents: {
        "click h1": function() {

});

new MyWidget().appendTo($("body"));

widget.js is not a full featured framework that can handle all aspects of a web application like network communications or routing, there already exists good libraries for that. widget.js only handles one aspect of web development: separation of visual components into independant entities. So it provides only features to serve that goal, namely widgets, lifecycle management and events.

To install with its dependencies:

bower install widget
