✨ Back.js: MVC Framework for Node.js written in Typescript and built on top of Express.js ✨

back.js is a new MVC framework for node written totally in Typescript and inspired from the popular spring MVC in java, it has a system of dependency injection and it's easy to use. Back.js is very new, it's not ready for production yet and needs some contributions.

🌟 There are a lot of javascript frameworks for node.js out there. This one is different :

• Provides great TypeScript developer experience
• Simple and flexible API
• MVC Architecture

$ npm install -g back-starter

Create the app

$ back

Install dependencies

$ npm install

Start your app at http://localhost:3000/

$ npm start

import {Controller ,Get ,Route } from "back-js";

@Controller
@Route("/")
class HomeController{

    constructor(){}

    @Get("/")
    greet() {
        console.log("hello World");
    }
    
    @Get("/greet")
    anotherGreet() {
        console.log("another hello World");
    }
} 

• @Controller : class Decorator used to mark the class as request handler.
• @Route : class Decorator used to specify the route handled by the controller.
• @Get : method Decorator, when used on a method ,this method will handle all the GET requests corresponding to its route.

in this example we created a controller HomeController that handles all requests coming from / route, inside the controller we have two methods greet and anotherGreet, these methods point to / and /greet respectively. We used @Get(route) to indicate that the method will handle any web request GET coming from the route specified in the Decorator.

import {Controller ,Get ,Post,Route ,Request ,Response } from "back-js";


@Controller
@Route("/product")
class ProductController{

    constructor(){}

    @Get("/:id")
    getProduct(req : Request ,res : Response, id : number) {
        console.log(id);
        // do something
        res.send("not found");
    }
    
    @Post("/")
    addProduct(res : Response,id : number, name : string, price : number){
        res.end("done");
    }

}

Here we have acontroller ProductController that points to /product route and has two methods getProduct and addProduct :

the first method getProduct has @Get("/:id") decorator on it, this means that it points to the /product/anything route .The route parameter in this case id can be accessed as a parameter of getProduct method. The req and res objects are the same as those in Express.js .

the second method addProduct points to the /product/ route and handles requests of type POST. it has four parameters the last three ones are id, name and price ,each parameter holds the value of the property that has the same name in the request body , fro example if the client send the object below :

{"id":12,"name":"nutella","price":20}

the result :

    @Post("/")
    addProduct(res : Response, id : number, name : string, price : number, other : string){
        console.log(id); // 12
        console.log(name); // nutella
        console.log(price); // 20
        console.log(other); // undefined
    }

   import {Controller,Service ,Get ,Post,Route ,Request ,Response, RequestBody, ResponseBody } from "back-js";
   
   class Product{
       constructor(
           private id : number,
           private label : string,
           private price : number,
       ){}
   }
   
   @Service
   class ProductService{
   
       constructor(){}

       getProduct() : Promise<Product>{
           return new Promise((resolve)=>{
               resolve(new Product(1,"Bimo",45));
           });
       }

   }
  
   @Controller
   @Route("/product")
   class ProductController{
   
       constructor(
           private productService : ProductService
       ){}

       @Get("/")
       @ResponseBody
       getProduct(req : Request ,res : Response ) : Promise<Product> {
           return this.productService.getProduct();
       }   

       @Post("/")
       @ResponseBody
       addProduct(@RequestBody product) : string{
           console.log(product);
           return "done";
       }
   } 

• @Service : class Decorator used to indicates that the class is injectable
• @ResponseBody : method Decorator , indicates that the method return value should be bound to the web response body (if the return value is a promise the data holded by this promise will be sent).
• @RequestBody : parameter Decorator , indicates that the method parameter should be bound to the web request body

in this example we have a controllerProductController with one dependency productService that will be injected automatically by the framework,this controller has also two methods :

the first one getProduct it has @ResponseBody decorator on it and returns a promise this means that the value holded in the promise will be sent in the web response body.

the second one addProduct has @ResponseBody decorator on its parameter product this means that web request body will be bound to the product parameter.
