Dandi is a modular DI and MVC framework designed to make it easier to write RESTful APIs, console applications, and other services for NodeJS. It is split into modules to allow developers to use only the features they require.

Features

Dependency Injection

Modeled after Angular's dependency injection system
Both constructors and methods can be injected with dependencies
3rd party dependencies can be configured to be injected with Providers

MVC

Modeled after ASP.NET Core MVC
Web framework agnostic - Built for Express 4, but can be used with other frameworks if desired
Decorator-based route configuration
Automatic path parameter, query parameter, and body model mapping and validation
Support for automatically generating HAL output

Model Building and Validation

Robust set of decorators for defining models and validation metadata
Automatically construct model class instances from JSON objects or POJOs
Convert from objects using a different property key casing (e.g. snake_case to camelCase)

Misc

Disposable interface and utilities for managing disposable resources
Uses Luxon as a replacement for Date objects
Models can be reused between backend NodeJS and frontend TypeScript/JavaScript applications
Uuid class based on the uuid library for working with and comparing UUIDs.
