IronJSMVC: Script ASP.NET MVC in JavaScript using IronJS
Jan 21, 2012 • Chris Pietschmann • .NETPersonally, I enjoy writing much of my applications using a statically typed language such as C#. However, I would really prefer to be able to write UI logic and script certain parts of my applications using a dynamic language if I could. I was thinking about this and the following question came to mind:
What would it be like to write an ASP.NET MVC application entirely using JavaScript?
So I thought I’d work up a prototype using IronJS (a javascript implementation for the .NET DLR.)
Download IronJSMVC prototype source code here: https://github.com/crpietschmann/IronJSMVC
Here’s a screenshot of the prototype code running, also showing a sample Controller and View written entirely in JavaScript:
I was just looking at the source code for IronJSMVC that I posted on github last September and I realized that I never posted about it here.
