This framework is in a slow trial-and-error development. I'm adding, changing and removing features depending on whether I like to use them or not. I did this for years now. I was developing it privately between April 2020 and December 2023.
My idea is to shape it into a nice framework for my projects. And who knows, maybe someone else would like it too. Unfortunately, the development takes so much time, but I have to do it, because I don't like most mainstream frameworks and libraries.
Galaxia is a full-stack JavaScript framework for Node.js.
Galaxia aims to be a simple-to-use framework with modern features, while being conservative at the same time. The goal is to write code that is as close as possible to the vanilla syntax.
- Vanilla JavaScript with JSDoc comments and optional
.d.tsfiles for type safety. No.tsfiles. - ES6 modules on the server and on the client.
- No transpilations, no build steps, no bundle files.
- No syntax separation between client and server.
- JSDoc comments used for validation of the HTTP parameters.
- Views are generated by Paintor.
- Realtime validation by DocSchema.
- Import scripts from node_modules on the client.
- CSS, SASS or Stylus can be used.
- A cluster process, controlling one or more workers.
- Supports HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.
- Requests limiter (DDoS protection). Different settings can be used for different paths.
- Reverse proxy.
- Development and production mode.
- Automatic restart on file changes on development mode.
- Custom mime types, cache control and compression levels for the files, served to the client.
