Getting Started With Frame

Frame provides a small but growing ecosystem of tools for developers interested in learning about and utilizing Frame in their projects.

The Framepiler CLI Tool

Central to Frame development is the Frame transpiler (the Framepiler). The Framepiler is an open source MIT licensed CLI tool that turns Frame “specs” into UML or code. It is written in Rust and is straightforward to modify to add new target outputs for documentation and source code generation. You can read more, view the code and download the Framepiler from GitHub.
