React Meta Components

The React Meta Components project (rmc) is essentially a minimal implementation of at least three independent pieces. In the future, this repository will likely house all three tied together in a user-friendly fashion. These are given alphabetic names corresponding to their level of complexity: rmc-a, rmc-b, rmc-c

React Meta Components API (rmc-a)

The core of rmc will be the rendering API. This package defines two core primitives which are built upon by the higher level projects. First, it defines a data specification (if the project matures and is successful, this could be handled as a separate, formal spec), and it defines a rendering library for creating web pages from the data objects described in the spec.

This may eventually be broken into two smaller pieces, rmc-data and rmc-render (or rmc-react)

React Meta Components Builder (rmc-b)

The second level of abstraction under the RMC umbrella will be the 'builder' project which provides a set of APIs for easily constructing, manipulating, and accessing RMC data objects. In addition to these builder APIs, this phase of development will also center around creating a WSYWIG editor which uses the APIs of both the builders and the renderers to edit/create/view RMC objects in a friendly manner for developers and non-developer web professionals alike.

React Meta Components CMS (rmc-c)

The final level of React Meta Components is to provide a data model and back end service through React, Relay, and GraphQL. This should essentially be provided as a series of plugins for rmc-b, as well as a default project for the backend which requires minimal configuration to be useful. Perhaps this will be available as a yeoman generator. In principle, rmc-c could be implemented in multiple languages, and portable between such back ends, provided they are all at the same API level/feature set.
