High Level Application Routing with StarLogic, StarMap, and StarShine - An idea in the making

I'm usually against using frameworks, but a few days ago I realized I could actually design a framework on top of StarShine. This framework was a fun idea I came up with while discussing top level routing of an application.

I wanted to make a Superset of the MVC framework, that focuses purely on the Business Logic part of your application, hence the name StarLogic.

This pattern models an event listener pattern, but does it in a functionally reactive way. Take the following example:


The idea with this framework, is to define a bunch of simple rules, and have your business logic execute your functions based on the rules. In the above case, any object that passes through the app.route() function will receive an ID if it isn't set already.

High level application routing can occur when you push a route object to a router like this:


Any object pushed through app will now be checked to see if every rule definition provided is correct, then it will execute _getUser and _routeApplication passing the business object in question to the functions.

Hey wait a minute, what about complex routing and nested routers? Easy. The route function is portable and doesn't rely on this being anything. Here are some examples of where the route function is placed in a proper way.


Essentially you get to design data processes, define application level logic, and design a framework for your application on top of StarLogic. Move over angular, StarLogic is coming to a store near you.
