Application Development Framework

Motivation

The Application development framework is a package that is developed to help our partners to get started quickly with developing their own web applications, drastically reducing time to market. It already has all the ingredients to make a web application on top of the Datonis IOT Platform:

• Ruby on Rails - A popular mature framework for building web applications
• MongoDB - MongoDB is a document database with the scalability and flexibility that you want with the querying and indexing that you need.
• ReactJS - React is a declarative, efficient, and flexible JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
• React Bootstrap - The most popular front-end framework, rebuilt for React (uses Bootstrap beneath)
• JQuery - jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library.
• Datonis API client
