Using the framework

Now that we have the architecture in place, we can go through a scenario where a developer uses our frontend framework parts to build a simple frontend example application. In Chapter 7, we performed the same task to get a good outline of all the features working together to achieve a certain task. To follow along, ensure that you have installed the dependencies, and then you can start the sample app in the following directory:

> cd chapter7/componium/tests/sample
> componium dev
Executing (default): SELECT 1+1 AS result
Componium Server (PID: 59938) started on port: 9000

You will be able to open the browser at http://localhost:9000 to view the application.
