Nexa

Write little → ship a full backend. Goal: hours, not weeks.

Nexa Stack is the backend package. Its UI companion is a separate package:

import {nexa} from '@nexa-stack/ui';
import '@nexa-stack/ui/styles.css';

Nexa Stack serves a minimal Welcome page, REST API and a schema-driven admin at /admin. For custom pages, use the independent @nexa-stack/ui package and nexa="..." commands.

Runs on Node.js ≥ 20 (Hostinger-friendly). Default UI language is English.

Quick start

npx @nexa-stack/framework new my-app
cd my-app
npm install
npm run serve

→ http://localhost:3333
→ http://localhost:3333/admin

The idea

import { resource, string, money, belongsTo, select } from "@nexa-stack/framework";

resource("orders", {
  client: belongsTo("clients").required().label("Client"),
  total: money().required().label("Total"),
  status: select(["new", "paid"]).label("Status"),
}, { label: "Orders" }).admin();

That gives you: database table + REST API + admin panel.

Optional power tools:

await db.from("orders").where("status", "paid").with("client").get();

Commands

| Command | What it does | |---------|----------------| | nexa serve | Start server | | nexa new X | Scaffold a project | | nexa make:resource X | Add resources/X.ts (auto-loaded) |

Localization

• Default: APP_LOCALE=en
• Arabic UI: set APP_LOCALE=ar and use lang/ar.json
• Admin has EN / عربي switch either way

Hostinger / production

Prefer MySQL on shared hosting:

DATABASE_URL=mysql://user:pass@localhost:3306/dbname
APP_SECRET=long-random-secret-at-least-32-chars
NODE_ENV=production

SQLite uses sql.js (no Visual Studio / node-gyp).
