Want to simplify web development? This hands-on book shows you how to write frontend and backend code simultaneously, using the Opa framework. Opa provides a complete stack for web application development, including a web server, database engine, distribution libraries, and a programming language that compiles to JavaScript.
Youll learn step-by-step how to use Opa by building two projects through the course of the book: a wiki application similar to Wikipedia, and a Twitter-like micro-blogging platform. Discover how easy it is to use Opa to develop applications with real-time updates, database interactions, and web service design.
  • Learn fundamental concepts, including Opas functional programming style
  • Discover how Opa compiles to JavaScript, using jQuery on the frontend and Node.js on the server
  • Construct Html resources dynamically and embed static resources on an Opa server
  • Use Opas method for performing Crud operations and storing key-value pairs in MongoDb
  • Build an Opa user interface with the Bootstrap toolkit from Twitter
  • Learn variant types, pattern-matching, polymorphic types, recursive functions, and other advanced features
  • Manage user accounts by building login forms, handling account activation, and tracking logged users
  • Build a reactive Uia real-time interface that continuously updates user events

Preface

Modern web applications represent the new way to write software. Facebook, Twitter, and Wikipedia are some well-known examples of such applications. They run on servers, and users can access them with a browser via either desktop or mobile devices. We refer to these as modern applications because they combine a rich user interface with real-time interaction and the capability to connect with online services, among other capabilities.

Opa is a programming framework for JavaScript that enables you to easily write modern web applications that have all the aforementioned cool features. This book is a gentle introduction to Opa.

What Is Opa?

Traditionally, many different technologies and languagesare involved when writing web applications. Not so with Opa! Opa is the onlytechnology you need to know to write the code that runs on theclient (in the browser) and the code that runs on the server, includingdatabase queries.

Opa natively supports the web platform, which is a set of technologies that includes HTML5 and CSS, and it automates many aspects of modern webapplication programming: Ajax/Comet client/server communication,event-driven and nonblocking code transformations, etc.

One of the main distinctive features of Opa is strong static typing,with type inference. This means that every application you write is checkedby a program called a typechecker that automatically tracksinconsistencies in the application. Typing enables Opa programmers todebug applications quickly, and increases application safety and security.

As a final step, Opa generates standard code: JavaScript for the client side,Node.js, and MongoDB for the server side.

The philosophy of Opa is to support multiple platforms. It is possible to extend Opato support different backends.

How Do I Work with Opa?

Working with Opa is as easy as 1, 2, 3:

  1. Write your application code in a text editor.
  2. Generate your application by invoking Opa.
  3. Run and/or deploy your application online.

In , you will learn how to install Opa and create your first application.Then you will develop two real applications with Opa: a mini-Wikipedia and a mini-Twitter.

The applications you develop with Opa are standard JavaScript projects that run both in the browser (where JavaScript is by far the most prevalent) and on the server. On the server side (also called the backend), the applications rely on two popular technologies for the runtime:

  • Node.js, which allows you to execute JavaScript code on the server
  • MongoDB, which is a NoSQL database server

Both technologies were chosen for their ability to scale , that is, easily add servers to handle more clients when your application becomes hugely popular.
