Introduction

WebUI is a set of Delphi classes and Javascript libraries for easy creation of SPA (Single Page Applications).

It was developed with the following ideas:

•UI is defined in a generic intermediate representation (XAML like) and stored in DB. This may be main application DB or separate DB (i.e SQLite file).

•UI can be designed directly from browser. To change something you don't have to open an IDE, find form/frame/unit find component, property etc. Simply switch to design mode and make changes.

•WebUI is not tied down to certain JS/CSS frameworks, rendering is performed using nested templates system which can refer to any CSS/JS framework.

•Most of the UI parts are created automatically, based on database structure. Don't create application from scratch, get working application instantly and tune it.

•Client and server code can be written simultaneously. When defining new action you can write server methods in one tab and client code that call these methods in a sibling tab.
