@ziao/dew-rest v0.1.6

Dew

A highly opinionated REST framework written in Typescript. Dew uses the following major libraries:

• Mikro-orm (Database mapping)
• Express (HTTP handling)
• Pino (logging)
• Jest (testing)
• Prompts (CLI tool)
• Passport (authentication)
• JOI (validation)

PINO is at v6

Core:

• Hook system (Inspired by FeathersJS)
• Services
• Custom services
• Plugin system
• Easy error handling
• Errors, like @feathersjs/errors
• Config system (.env files (like Vue), autoscanned config folder(?))
• Logging system. Figure out how to expand this later. Maybe a replacable logger?

Plugins:

• Authentication (passport)
• Command line interface (oclif)
• Cluster support (redis)
• Documentation generator
• GraphQL interface (type-graphql)
• REST interface (express)
• (Web)socket interface (socket.io)
• HTTP (express, helmet) (handle json, urlencoded, etc) (setup public folders) (integrate with auth to protect folders?)
• Performance monitor
• Scheduler
• Upload handler
• Reactive (rxjs)

Consider:

• Migrations (Mikro has a tool for this, look into it)
• Model validation (or should this be a plugin / hook?)
• Fixtures
• Client library
• Patreon
• standardize M:M relationships through REST
• Query params to cherry-pick some relations
• I18N
• Transaction support (where to put this?)

Other:

• Linting (TSLint, ESlint, Prettier)
• Husky hooks
• Testing (Jest) + Coverage
• CLI tool for scaffolding Dew projects
• Automatically generate Dew documentation (Vuepress)
• Website

Bundled hooks:

• Soft delete records
• Check feathers

Research

• Does Mikro ORM use custom repositories for relations (for middleware)? -> Nope.
• Better errors for Mikro (notfound / validation error use the same class with no way to determine which one)
