@adityahegde/typescript-framework v0.0.4

typescript-framework

A full stack framework with Express.js for server and React.js for UI. This is a very much work in progress. API will change.

Check test/functional/ui/app folder for a real life use case. Check docs folder for detailed API docs.

Models

Utility package used to define models for a React app. Models are defined using various decorators.

Creating a Model

To create a model in the ecosystem the model class has to extend BaseType and have ModelMetadata.Model decorator.

import {
  ModelMetadata,
  TextField,
  DisplayField,
} from "@adityahegde/models";

@ModelMetadata.Model({
  // Overrides the singular representation.
  // By default it will be class name with 1st letter as lower case.
  singular: "sample",
  // Overrides the plural representation.
  // By default it will be output of pluralize pacakge of singular attribute.
  plural: "samples",
  // API base for the model. This is used to build the api route for this model.
  // apiPath = `${apiBase}/${plural}`
  apiBase: "/api",
  // Specifies the base class for a polymorphic inheritance.
  // NOTE: Not implemented just yet.
  polymorphic: "",
})
class SampleModel extends BaseType {
  @DisplayField()
  // Add field decorators at the end for other decorators to work
  @TextField()
  public textField: string;
}

Server

Has various classes to easily build an endpoint for models and serving the UI.

UI

Has different components for UI elements that are rendered based on model's configuration.
