Mote itself never stores any data - rather, everything is inferred from a directory structure and metadata files where applicable. This makes it possible to store pattern libraries across a wide range of external systems like Github and even a plain file server.

Its aim is to deliver UI to as many external systems as possible by adhering to existing standards.

Rendering

Server side

Mote supports native server side rendering for Django sites because Mote itself is written in Django. Non-Django systems, like Wordpress, can use Mote to render and deliver components over a RESTful API.

Client side

Mote supports client side rendering, typically from static HTML files loaded into a browser. In this case the Javascript API is the most efficient method to access Mote services.
