Chalupa is a high-level framework for microservices, with the goal of making it easier to write better software faster. Software that is easy to write, test and maintain.

Features

• TypeScript from the ground up. Chalupa is written in TypeScript and facilitates the use of TypeScript throughout.
• IoC container inside. By wrapping Inversify, Chalupa provides an IoC container for your service, making things like Dependency Injection as easy as ever.
• Configuration support. Building on konvenient, SAIL lets you create services which are easily and transparently configurable via environment variables and configuration files.
• Decorator-based. Just write simple TypeScript classes, interfaces and methods, and then decorate them with the appropriate Chalupa decorators. No manual wiring needed, everything is taken care of by the framework.
• External service calls made visible. Make external service dependencies visible, typable and mockable using Chalupa's @ExternalService() decorator. Say goodbye to messy, impossible-to-test remote calls!
• Code reuse and modularity. Want to create reusable components across services? Want to split a service into smaller units? Code reuse and modularity is explicitly supported and facilitated by Chalupa via so-called modules.
