# KnockoutJS APP Starter
> Build Single-Page apps with KnockoutJS
Rapidly prototype your next single-page application, with a `zero-build` out-of-the-box web-component solution. Need to go beyond the prototype stage, fret ~~not, the tools are in-place to take you to production.~~
This is as simple as possible, but no simpler
*Designed for web componets in both legacy and modern browsers*
## Features
- `KnockoutJS` 3.4.x
- `Web Components` for reuseable UI
- `Bootstrap` 3.x for design
- `JQuery` 1.11.x to support bootstrap, and provide ajax
- Based on `HTML5Boilerplate` 6.x
- `ESLint` for coding style
- `Relay` a simple pub/sub utility for component communication, using knockout itself
## Requirements
[NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/) is used to install `vendor/` dependencies and in the *future* provide a method to `build` your project for production via `gulp`
## Getting Started
Lets bootstrap our app with
```
npm install
```
And move the `src/` folder where ever you want it
## Project Structure
```
src/ <-- your public app directory
app/ <-- knockoutjs config & startup
assets/ <-- your js, css, and images
components/ <-- web components
pages/ <-- html views that use web components
vendor/ <-- extenal dependencies, ie. things you did not write
index.html <-- start here
```
## Documentation
You can find extra documentation in the `docs/` directly, such as
- [Relay]('docs/relay.md')
## Polyfills
While todays "Evergreens" browsers support 99% of `ES6` and provide a pethra of capabilities, such as `import`, `class`, `fetch`, and `promise` depending on your desired browser support, you may find a polyfill to suit your needs...
...**HOWEVER** this projects uses libraries designed to work with IE8 (mayben even IE6?!), but testing that is beyond the scope of this project
## TODO
- add a simple router (riot-route)
- add gulp build process for production builds
- add Jasmine for testing
