Davaux

Please note Davaux is in early alpha. Expect breaking changes, and please report any issues you encounter.

An SSR-first JSX framework for Node.js. The server is a first-class citizen — not an afterthought bolted onto a client-side runtime.

• File-based routing with HTTP methods explicit in the filename
• Async JSX — any component can await data, no getServerSideProps ceremony
• Layouts — drop _layout.tsx in any directory, nesting composes automatically
• Islands + signals — zero client JS by default, opt-in fine-grained reactivity
• Typed request context — params, query, cookies, head, body parsing, redirect
• Static generation — davaux static pre-renders your app to static HTML + assets
• Multi-sites — multiple apps in one codebase, shared components, separate configs

Quick start

npx davaux create my-app
cd my-app
npm install
npm run dev

Davaux requires Node.js 22+.

davaux create scaffolds a complete project: package.json, tsconfig.json, davaux.config.ts, biome.json, a root layout, and a starter index page — ready to run.
