eonjs v1.21.1

Why Eon?

Yes, another web server framework. Whenever a new one comes out, you have to ask yourself: Do I need this? Am I fine to just continue using express/fastify/etc...? I want to present to you the reasons why I began writing this framework and hopefully make your decision a bit easier.

Express is not a small framework

Express is great because it provides lots of features, but that also makes it a quite large library. With Eon, I tried to reduce the bundle size by writing as much code as possible on my own and adding only the necessary features.

0 Dependencies

As of v1.11.x, Eon.js has no dependencies whatsoever, thereby further reducing the bundle size and overhead of additional packages to manage.

Installation

To install eon, simply run

npm i eonjs@latest --save

Examples & Usage

Here is an example of using Eon:

// Require Eon
const eon = require('eonjs');
// Create App
// Shorthand: const app = require('eonjs')(8080);
const app = eon(8080);
// Create a get path
app.get('/').json((req, res) => ({hello: 'world', how_are: 'you?'}));

Typescript

This framework has Typescript typings bundled with it.
