NodeJS middleware pattern framework

Hello, visitor. Every product has its selling points. Framework software is no exception. When I got the idea for this framework, my goal was to simplify development with Javascript. If you ever used Express, you know how easy is to create an HTTP route with it. Its basically a couple of lines of code. Simple.

But building a functional application is much more that a couple of lines of code. Express provides the middleware pattern which works great but as the application grows, in my experience, that pattern needs constant care and refactoring. That tends to be a tedious and error prone job. With Gabriela, I tried to expand on the middleware pattern to make it both structured and maintainable. I really hope I succeeded in that.

Gabriela is still in beta stage of development and using her in production is not advisable. Current version is 1.0.3. If you have any questions about it, you can send them to my email marioskrlec111@gmail.com. Also, every criticism is very welcome.

Installing Gabriela

npm install gabriela@1.0.3

Documentation

You can find the documentation here https://gabriela-framework.github.io/gabriela/#/

The documentation is still in development but the main building blocks and explanations are there.

Contributing

If you wish to contribute to Gabriela, there are a couple of things to consider.

Gabriela is written with Airbnb code style guide in mind but its not a hard requirement. Please, study this guide before you start contributing.

Test coverage is a very important part of Gabriela. Currently, test coverage is done with Istanbul and is at 99%. The only parts that cannot be covered with test are the ones that kill NodeJS process in certain circumstances. Since that also kills the process that executes the test, that part of code cannot be tested. Every other part of code is within test coverage. If you which to contribute, please, test your code. You can check the uncovered lines with npm run console-coverage command.
