About

A very rough version of what I think an ideal framework looks like to me. This will go through major changes as I start using it in my own projects, and to test out areas where the tools presented here will not work.

Aim

My aim is to create a framework that will allow me to create and implement projects faster, and with less boilerplate code. Things like OAuth, User Creation will be dealt with, and I will be able to get started a lot faster.

The things I think are essential are:

• Easy configuration
• Easy database configuration
• OAuth implemented and easy to use
• Able to change routes during run-time

I am still on an older version of Express, and using the old route patterns. This will remain the case for a while until I fully understand the new changes.

Some examples

Hello World

'use strict';

var dynamo = require('../lib/core');

// Initialization
dynamo.initialize(__dirname);

// Router
dynamo.route('get', '/', function(req, res) {
    res.send('hello world');
});

// Run
dynamo.run();

Twitter Auth

'use strict';

var dynamo = require('../lib/core');

// Initialization
dynamo.initialize(__dirname);

// Router
// Callback: What happens when the user is NOT DEFINED.
// If the user IS DEFINED then it carries on with the redirect
dynamo.twitterAuth(function(token, tokenSecret, profile, done, User) {
    // User does not exist so we create a user
    // Just return NULL so user is not added
    // So we say we're done with the User
    done(null, User.create(profile));
});

// Run
dynamo.run();
