hextec v1.4.1

hextec

A new web framework for building web applications.

Installation

To use hextec in your Node.js project, just run

hextec new app

and then you can use it. This would give you a file directory. You should edit the App.js file to make any meaningful changes.

Building from source

Clone the repo and then run

npm install

to get all of the dependencies. The typescript sources are located in the src folder.

Purpose

I was dissatisfied with Express and it's relatively bad workflow (at least for me), so I decided to write my own web framework using the HTTP module. This project however is currently in extreme beta, so I would not recommend using it yet.

Currently, this only functions as a REST API type service, but without any of the cool things like DB integration (I suppose you could use Mongoose or the official MongoDB driver if you wanted). I recommend using a frontend framework such as React or Vue to go along with this (React integration might be added in a future update, no promises though). Soon proper documentation will be added once I am satisfied enough with the actual functionality.
