@hibiku/bundle

hibiku

modular nodejs cms

eventually, this will serve as the repository for a core hibiku bundle that works out of the box (the 'minimum viable product') and includes all the necessary functionality for hibiku to work (ie hibiku/api, hibiku/http, hibiku/templates) - for now though, this'll just be a lab

alternatively, users will be able to just install the different modules they need themselves, and build their own flavour of hibiku (a la levelup)

design goals

• flexible
  • should support swapping out of different components (ie. templating engine)
  • should not force user into any specific technology (db, http server ...)
  • should use events to let users do what they want with the internals
• modular
  • unix philosophy - modules should not need to know about each other
  • each module should stick to its purpose, and not concern itself with other details - including a small core that just orchestrates the other modules
• support native web apps / client-side rendering (like Noddity) as well as your bog-standard server-side schtick
  • service worker
  • precompiled templates
• node-friendy
  • streams-first, events, callbacks
• inspiration
  • Node.js
  • Hapi
  • Noddity
  • what not to be (although Calypso + wp-json are leaps in the right direction)
