@swim/app
@swim/app implements a lightweight application loader that dynamically
instantiates views and controllers declared by swim- HTML attributes.
@swim/app is part of the
@swim/web framework.
Installation
npm
For an npm-managed project, npm install @swim/app to make it a dependency.
TypeScript sources will be installed into node_modules/@swim/app/main.
Transpiled JavaScript and TypeScript definition files install into
node_modules/@swim/app/lib/main. And a pre-built UMD script can
be found in node_modules/@swim/app/dist/main/swim-app.js.
Browser
Browser applications can load swim-web.js—which bundles the @swim/app
library—along with its swim-core.js and swim-ui.js dependencies, directly
from the swimOS CDN.

libraries.

ES6/TypeScript
@swim/app can be imported as an ES6 module from TypeScript and other ES6-compatible environments.
import * as app from "@swim/app";CommonJS/Node.js
@swim/app can also be used as a CommonJS module in Node.js applications.
var app = require("@swim/app");Browser
When loaded by a web browser, the swim-web.js script adds all
@swim/app library exports to the global swim namespace.
The swim-web.js script requires that swim-core.js and swim-ui.js
have already been loaded.
The swim-system.js script also adds all @swim/app library exports
to the global swim namespace, making it a drop-in replacement for
'swim-core.js', swim-ui.js, and swim-web.js when additional
@swim/system libraries are needed.
