IMPORTANT

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.

What is Galaxia?

Galaxia is a full-stack JavaScript framework for Node.js.

Philosophy

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.

Key Features

JavaScript

  • Vanilla JavaScript with JSDoc comments and optional .d.ts files for type safety. No .ts files.
  • 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

  • CSS, SASS or Stylus can be used.

Server

  • 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.
