WildayJS

A Full-Stack JavaScript Web Framework Inspired by Ruby on Rails. If you love Ruby on Rails, you will feel familiar with WildayJS.

If you never use Ruby on Rails, you will love WildayJS.

Overview

WildayJS is designed to make web development in Node.js simple and enjoyable. Following the principles of convention over configuration, it provides a robust foundation for building web applications with minimal setup.

Installation

npm install -g wildayjs

Quick Start

# Create a new WildayJS application
  $ wildayjs new my-app
  $ cd my-app
  $ npm install
  $ npm start

Then open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

Generate a new controller:

  # posts controller
  $ wildayjs generate:controller posts
  $ wildayjs generate:controller posts index show
  $ wildayjs generate:controller posts index show --api
  $ wildayjs generate:controller admin/posts index

  # users controller
  $ wildayjs generate:controller users index show

Then try:

  $ wildayjs db:init
  $ wildayjs generate:model user name:string email:string
  $ wildayjs db:migrate

If you need to generate model with associations and validations:

  $ wildayjs generate:model user name:string email:string:null:false:unique
  $ wildayjs generate:model post title:string body:text user:references

Creating a new user:

  $ wildayjs console
  > const user = new User({ name: "John Doe", email: "[email protected]" });
  > user.save();
  > user.all();

If you need add new columns to a table:

  $ wildayjs generate:migration AddUsernameToUsers username:string
  $ wildayjs db:migrate

Check the data through the API endpoints:

  GET    /api/users
  GET    /api/users/:id
  POST   /api/users
  PUT    /api/users/:id
  DELETE /api/users/:id
