A starter kit for rapidly developing web applications with the Dojo Toolkit, illustrating best practices.
Dojo Boilerplate is a starter kit for developing web applications with the Dojo Toolkit. It provides a pre-configured project structure, build system, and testing setup to help developers follow best practices and accelerate their workflow.
Developers building web applications with the Dojo Toolkit who want a structured starting point with integrated build and testing tools.
It offers a ready-to-use foundation that demonstrates Dojo best practices, includes an optimized build process, and comes with testing configured, reducing setup time and ensuring a solid project structure.
A starting point for developing with Dojo
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Pre-configured directories like src, profiles, and tests enforce a clean separation of concerns, as detailed in the README's tour section, reducing setup time.
Includes a build.sh script that uses Stylus for CSS and the Dojo build system to create optimized production outputs, automating the build process as described in the Key Features.
Comes with Intern testing framework set up and defaults to Sauce Labs for cloud testing, saving time on test environment setup, as noted in the Integrated Testing feature.
Designed to reflect latest Dojo features and patterns, encouraging adherence to standards through community contributions, as mentioned in the About section.
The build process depends on Java, which adds an extra installation step and can be a barrier for developers in environments without Java, as specified in the Quick Start.
Uses Dojo's own build system which may not integrate seamlessly with modern tools like Webpack or Vite, limiting flexibility and requiring Dojo-specific knowledge.
Relies on community contributions and is only occasionally updated, as stated in the README, which could lead to compatibility issues with newer Dojo versions or dependencies.
