Link DominoJS

domino.js is a JavaScript library to manage interactions in dashboards. It has been especially designed for iterative processes, to obtain quickly maintainable proofs of concepts.

The concept is pretty simple:

• First, you define your properties (that describe your data as well as all the minor counts/flags that define the state of your interface), and associate input and output events to each of them.
• Then, you instanciate your modules (that basically define all the graphic components that display or make possible to modify the properties), through domino.js's modules factory, that will take care of all the connecting part.
• Finally, when a module will dispatch an event, it will automatically update the related properties, and the modules that are listening to these properties' output events. So you never have to connect two modules by yourself.

But the most important feature of domino.js is probably the possibility to add arbitrarily hacks. A hack is just a function bound to one or more events. This function will be executed in its own scope, and can update properties, call AJAX services, dispatch other events, and a lot more. So basically, it gives a strict and clear place to write all those sh*tty features that were not considered in your original design.
