@metamatter/nest

A Type Generation Library for building exportable backend type definition, easily to adopt in different TypeScript based backend development

Description

MetaMatter is a library for building runtime type definition generation. It is built with TypeScript and combines the concepts of Meta-Programming, to create type-safe, scalable environment for (mainly) Frontend development.

Philosophy

There are numbers of libraries for building a Node.js server-side applications. However, there is an issue when it comes to communicate between Frontend and Backend no matter which backend language we are using. Type Definitions, would be troublesome when it comes to Agile development style. Frequent updates on APIs makes it hard to develop projects in a type-safe environment.

MetaMatter aims to address this issue, by providing a lightweight, less configuration tools.
