Note: A new Raxan website has been released. Visit http://raxanpdi.com
Flexible & Accessible
Raxan provides a fresh approach to web application development, by combining the power of existing CSS and Javascript techniques, to create a Rich Ajax/HTML Application Framework that is flexible, easy to use and easy to deploy. With Raxan's built-in support for the dynamic loading of plugins and style sheets, developers will be to able convert very large Javascript files into smaller, more manageable modules to reduce loading/startup time and improve user experience.
Dynamic Loading
In addition to dynamic loading, Raxan supports the automatic loading of a code-behind Javascript file to eliminate the need of having to always specify the name of the file to include. Once your code-hind file has been loaded, you can start immediately by loading other script files with very little or no impact on your application load time. This feature gives developers a nice way to separate their Javascript codes from their HTML content and CSS style sheets, plus it eliminates the need of having to add yet another <script> tag to your page. For example:
// loade file from plugins folder
html.include('my-favorite-script');
// loade file from another folder
html.include('/js/my-other-script.js',true);
html.ready(function(){
alert('Now that was so easy!');
})
Raxan also includes a CSS framework that makes it very easy to construct very complex web page layouts. With just a few lines of html code and a few CSS classes you can have a multi-column layout in a couple of seconds. And if you're into creating your web pages with switchable CSS themes, then that's also supported. All that's needed is a little creativity and your web pages are good to go.
html.css('master'); // loads the css framework
html.css('default/theme'); // loads the default theme
One thing to note is that the above methods are optional. If you prefer to include your files the traditional way, then you're free to do so. Raxan is very flexible and gives you the option to design your web pages the way you choose. For example, you can also replace the built-in CSS framework with the framework of your choice.
Well, now that you have a basic idea of what Raxan is all about, it's now your turn to dive right in and explore the framework. Be sure to learn about the Raxan html object and the classes that are used by the CSS framework.
