Fullstack.wiki

Charter

Fullstack.wiki is a repository of documentation for how to build reliable, accessible, cross-platform Web applications.

This can be broken down into several broad categories of content:

• Original specification text, for offline reference
• Writing technical standards & participating in standards groups
• Writing Web applications (i.e. publishing data)
• Writing Web user-agents (i.e. consuming data)
• Techniques & tools for programming

Principles

• Document techniques for building reliable, accessible, cross-platform Web applications.
• Centrally document how to use/implement standards, cross referencing the relevant authortative documents.
• Document best practices, not necessarially everything.
• Document implementation status by each platform.
• Support progressive enhancement and graceful degradation.
• Encourage defense in depth and emphasize security at every step.
• Keep accessibility, UX, and security notes in-line as essential requirements, not as separate sections.

Prerequisites

• make
• node
• npm (or compatible package install)

Building

1. Install submodules (if any, git submodule update --init)
2. Install dependencies (yarn install)
3. run make

Index of Files

• bin/ - Executables and helper scripts
• lib/ - Web server related libraries
• web/ - webroot/docroot for the website
• app.js - Web server routing
• Makefile - The commands to build the website
• index.html - Redirects to the web/index.xhtml for the lazy

Technical requirements

• Host specifications as HTML
• Convert plaintext RFCs to HTML
• Searchable collection of documents for quick navigation
• Cross-references to other pages and official standards
• Extract RDF data from HTML pages
• Build indexes and tables from RDF data
• Provide implementation status of features by different implementations, aggregated from test suites
• Syntax highlighting of code blocks
• Test your own input against ABNF & validators
• List compliant implementations in your programming language
