Enyo is an open source JavaScript framework for cross-platform mobile, desktop, TV and web applications emphasizing object-oriented encapsulation and modularity.[1] Initially developed by Palm, which was later acquired by Hewlett-Packard and then released under an Apache 2.0 license.[2] Sponsored by LG Electronics and Hewlett-Packard.
Bootplate
Bootplate is a simplified way of creating an app, providing a skeleton of the program's folder tree. The Bootplate template provides a complete starter project that supports source control and cross-platform deployment out of the box. It can be used to facilitate both the creation of a new project and the preparation for its eventual deployment.[3]
Libraries
- Layout: Fittables, scrollers, lists, drawers, panels.
- Onyx: Based on the original styled of webOS/Touchpad design but available for use on any platform.
- Moonstone: Used by LG SmartTV apps but available for use on any platform.
- Spotlight: To support key-based interactions and "point and click" events on remote controls and keyboards.
- Mochi:[4] Advanced user interface library.It has been maintained by the community since the team behind webOS released this abandoned interface from Palm/HP as open source.[5] This library is not included on bootplate right now, but has very good design documents.[6]
- enyo-iLib: Internationalization and localization library, it wrap ilib's functionality on Enyo apps.[7] G11n was another library that has been deprecated on newer versions of enyo.
