Boris

What is it

a project that started in a school task and evolved into a CLI micro framework made in java

Plans

• Add a Http layer so its easier and always accesible from view without the java pain

• Add a Login layer so a action like a_auth_redirect or even a_redirect(, AUTH.REQUIRE_LOGIN) means a login class to overwrite with custom login logic and just a redirect ux layer to redirect auto to a dev defined login view mask

• Storage like web browser String key saves for dev defined data types read only or global, acces rights set by the author view etc

• more timey wimey wibly wobly... stuff

Guards

What are guards?
They're non-blocking utility watchdogs that silently—or loudly—protect Boris from developer chaos.
Here are the ones currently watching...

PrintDog

Warning

⚠️ ACTIVE ISSUE IN v1.0.1

PrintDog is currently asleep on duty.
Illegal System.out.println() calls might slip through without triggering a bark or throw.
Yes, even in this latest release. Bad doggy. This is a known bug and will be fixed.
But for now, assume he’s glaring silently from a corner... judging.

PrintDog: A cuddly promise from the future. A frothing leg-biter from the waist-down today.

What is it?
A terminal output guardian that barks (and throws) if System.out.println() is used outside the framework.
It exists because raw printing breaks Boris’s render cycle. Like, seriously. It ruins everything.

Why?
Because if you print without using terminal.print(), the layout explodes and the terminal cries.
So PrintDog bites early to save your future.

Use terminal.print(). Or face the bark.

its the goodest boyo of em all... k9... kinda? idk looks like him
