Iron (Fe) is an opinionated yet flexible FrontEnd development framework

Why another front end tool?

We want Iron to be a foundation for projects. Like all foundations it is a place to start but a foundation is just a begining. There can be many directions you can go after you have a firm foundation. We want to give front end developers who work with AEM access to the same tools that we have when working outside AEM. Iron makes a few decisions for you.

Where is Iron opinionated?

• Iron encourages you to write your components in small sets of independent functionality
• All components just blueprinted common js modules
  • with a main.js, and a main.css files these small bits of code will help you stay orginized as your project grows.
• Components are bundled via Browserify webpack or what ever else you fancy
• Bundles are formed in client libraries.
  • once the code is bundled it can be moved to a client library in AEM and then built via maven.
