Build robust, clean and scalable web applications.

---

Introduction

Agros is a framework for building robust, clean and scalable web applications. It based on TypeScript and combines elements of OOP (Object Oriented Programming), FP (Functional Programming).

Motivation

Web front-end frameworks (such as React.js, Vue.js and so on) has greatly helped developers build fast and responsive web applications, while its simplicity has also allowed it to accumulate a large number of users in a short period of time, and some large websites have started to be built entirely using them. All of this speaks volumes about the success of them. However, there are a number of architectural problems with building large web applications using front-end frameworks that add up to additional and increasingly large expenses for maintaining and iterating on the project, and Agros was created to solve these problems.

Inspired by Angular and Nest.js and based on multiple platforms support, Agros provides an out-of-the-box experience to help developers create highly available, highly maintainable, stable, and low-coupling web applications.

Features

• Framework irrelevant. It would be OK to use different frameworks to build web applications with Agros, It has a core factory function that governs everything Agros needs and is implemented by the platform to support different front-end frameworks
• Full CLI supported to help standardize workflow and project structure

Requirements

• ✅ Use TypeScript to write project
• ❇️ Node.js v16.0.0 or later

Quick Start

Install Agros CLI

The Agros CLI helps you easily make and configure collections (providers, components and modules) into your projects, which is useful when the structure project is increasing.

npm i @agros/cli -g

Here comes the usages of Agros CLI:

Usage: agros [options] [command]

Options:
  -V, --version   output the version number
  -h, --help      display help for command

Commands:
  generate|g      Generate Agros.js collections
  update|u        Update an Agros.js collections with another collection
  routes|r        Manage project routes
  help [command]  display help for command

Create an Agros project

Create an Agros project by Agros CLI:

agros generate application

As an alternative, you can also use Agros official-recommended scaffold @agros/create-app and prepare project directory:

npm i @agros/create-app -g
mkdir example-project && cd example-project

Run create command:

npm create @agros/app
# or
create-agros-app

Follow the instruction and the project will be initialized in the directory.

Configure TypeScript

In your tsconfig.json file in the project root directory, add following options into it:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
        "experimentalDecorators": true,
    },
}

Run the Project

npm start
# or
npx agros-app start

Build the Project

npm run build
# or
npx agros-app build
