Ailtire (architect in Scottish Gaelic) is a framework that allows system architects to design systems using UML architectural elements as code. The UML elements supported are Actors, UseCases, Scenarios, Classes, and Packages. Ailtire is an opinionated configuration solution.
Ailtire creates a npm project by creating a directory structure that follows many of the MVC frameworks that exists today like Ruby on Rails, or Sailjs. Ailtire focuses on system architecture and bring subsystems together. It utilizes the MVC pattern for simulating the application, but it is not limited to just the web interface. It also includes microservice patterns for development and deployment using containers, and communication frameworks based on websocket and RESTful interfaces for all subsystems and their components.
With node already installed:
# Install ailtire from the command line
npm install ailtire -g
This will install ailtire globally to be used for several projects.
# Creates a directory called myapp and populates it with ailtire directory structure.
ailtire app create --name myapp
Start the application you just created.
cd myapp
npm install
npm start
> myapp@0.0.1 start C:\Users\dwpulsip\work\ailtire\myapp
> node index.js
Listening on port: 8080
Now you should be able to access the application in your browser.
For additional information on ailtire and its uses please goto the getting started documentation.
Ailtire uses common npm packages for most of the heavy lifting of the application development. The backend is built using nodejs, express, socket.io, ejs and commander packages. The front end utilizes socket.io-client, w2ui, and 3d-force-graph for visualization and web ui elements.
