Yabf

Yet Another Basic Framework for NodeJS.

It is a learning experience: I wouldn't use expressjs as usual but learn how to make/code dependency injection, routing, http requests, and other development patterns/paradigms/concepts by myself.

It can be use as a base for server projects. Of course so much things are missing and you will have to develop it yourself or create an issue in this repo.

Yabf work either with JavaScript and TypeScript projects.

Install

To use Yabf in your project you have to import it :

yarn add yabf@latest

Usage

Yabf works with controller and services. To load your controllers and services there are two methods in WebApplication: declare for controllers and prodive for services or data.

After declaring all your classes, you have to start the server.

import { WebApplication } from 'yabf'
 
import { MailService } from './services/mail-service'
import { MainController } from './controllers/mail-controller'
 
(function main() {
  const app = WebApplication.createInstance()
 
  app.provide(MailService)
  app.declare(MainController)
 
  app.start()
})()

Why using WebApplication.createInstance() instead of new WebApplication() ? When you provide services or declare controllers you use the Yabf dependency injector. All the Yabf services also use this dependency injector. So, WebApplication need to provide other internal services before your start to using it.

You can ask Yabf to inject dependencies into your controllers or services. However, controllers can't be injected in other controllers. z

app.provide(MailService)
app.declare(MainController, [MailService])
