An everyday JavaScript reference, from strings and collections to async work and design patterns. Every example comes with an explanation, and most of them run. • 23 sections: basic types, arrays and collections, classes, files, serialization, functions and arrow expressions, exceptions, regular expressions, async operations, databases, algorithms, design patterns. • Run in the app: the example actually runs and the output appears under the code. Needs an internet connection. • What changed in new versions: 10 sections from ES2015 to ES2024, with the old and the new code side by side. • Keyword and function reference: over 170 articles, open in full, with no daily limit. • SQL alongside: over 200 queries against a live practice database (JOIN, GROUP BY, subqueries, data types). • Edit examples and add your own; they stay in the app and are always at hand. • Search looks inside the code itself, not just the titles: remember a fragment and you will find the example. • Everything except running works offline. No account needed. WHAT THE FREE VERSION INCLUDES 12 runs and 12 edits a day; the counter resets every morning. The keyword reference is open without limits. Up to 5 examples of your own. The full version unlocks every example, lifts the daily limits and raises the run limit to 30 a day. One purchase, no subscription. Built by a developer for developers. In active development since 2015.

The formalism used the concepts of fabula and syuzhet as a way to develop narrative construction or classified materials and compositions into fabula and syuzhet, respectively. The totality of microscopic events listed in causality was called a fabula, and the narrative arrangement of these motifs in an artistic way was called a syuzhet. This app is a personal project to learn the technical ingredients of SwiftUI and derive creative results. SwiftUI is a user interface toolkit that can develop applications in a declarative manner. This is a modern development method that communicates to iOS how you want the user interface to behave and finds out how users perform when interacting with the interface. In addition, SwiftUI can develop macOS, watchOS, and tvOS with the same code as well as iOS development. The most appealing thing for me personally is that it is easy to learn and that the code is concise, making it easy for beginners to understand. I hope this project will help everyone, including myself, to understand SwiftUI. The code of this project will be updated regularly. You can share and communicate with developers around the world through the Fabula app. We always look forward to the participation of developers.
