VCL.JS is a TypeScript framework that does all of the heavy work that you'd normally have to do by hand. There are tasks that are common to every enterprise web app; VCL.JS does those things for you, so you can focus on building business logic and UI.

These are the features that make VCL.JS a joy to use:

• Visual Component Library- include Page,Grid,Input,Gauges,Charts and many more
• Visual studio integration
• Node.js / IIS backend
• Pure typescript
• Single page application
• Data binding
• Simple database query execution
• Routing
• Twitter bootstrap
• AMD - Module loader

###Friendly APIs help you get your job done faster.

//Simple dbgrid bounded to a query
import V = require("VCL/VCL");
export class PageHome extends V.TPage {
  constructor() {
  super();

    //create a backend query
    var qur = new V.TQuery(this);
    qur.SQL = "SELECT CustomerKey, FirstName, LastName FROM Customers";
    qur.open();

    //create a grid on the screen
    var grd = new V.TDBGrid(this, "grid");
    grd.Dataset = qur; //bind the grid to the dataset
    grd.PageSize = 15;

    var col = grd.createColumn(“FirstName”);
    var col = grd.createColumn(“Lastname”,”Last Name”);
  }
}
