Jova.js has a specific file structure it works by, this is shown below:

project
│   index.ts
│
└───events
│   │   Ready.ts
│   │   Error.ts
│   │   ...
│   │
│   └───more-events (subfolders are supported)
│       │   Mount.ts
│       │   Route.ts
│       │   ...
│
└───routes (subfolders are supported)
│   │   Route.ts
│   │   Index.ts
│   │   ...
│
└───middlewares (subfolders are supported)
│   │   Middleware1.ts
│   │   Middleware2.ts
│   │   ...
│
└───static (subfolders are supported)
    │   file1.css
    │   file2.txt
    │   ...

Jova.js also has two other exports, @bracketed/jova.js/types and @bracketed/jova.js/decorators.

• @bracketed/jova.js/decorators - For decorators usage in handlers such as route handlers, event handlers and middleware handlers.
• @bracketed/jova.js/types - Typings for Jova.js, used in routes, middlewares, events etc.

Initiating a new Jova Server.

// ESM
import { JovaServer } from '@bracketed/jova.js';

const Jova = new JovaServer();

await Jova.listen(3000);

// CJS
const { JovaServer } = require('@bracketed/jova.js');

const Jova = new JovaServer(); // All options for JovaServer are documented in the instance as jsDocs

await Jova.listen(3000);

You can find an application example in the Jova.js repository here or the direct folder here.

The default Express API can be utilised from the default Jova instance after being initiated e.g: get(), post(), etc or via the container object exported by @bracketed/jova.js.

However, you can set up routes, middlewares and event listeners like this:

Events - Via the documentation at jova.js.org

Routes - Via the documentation at jova.js.org

Middlewares - Via the documentation at jova.js.org
