Mantra is a model-based tool to automate common frontend tasks such as components organization, data management and API communication in a single-page application.
Mantra's goal is to reduce the development time of your project by abstracting and automating common tasks in SPAs, leaving you with more time to work on the UI experience, business logic and custom features.
To achieve the abstractions, we [mantra team] decided to make Mantra an interpreter of configuration files that will opinionate Mantra's processes. The configuration files allows to customize processes like the fetching, storing and distributioning of data within your single-page application.
