:seedling: Aden

Automated Server for the Web.

Aden lets you create static or dynamic sites using a framework of your choice (like React, Inferno, Angular, Vue).

Aden integrates Webpack, Babel and Express with an extensible file tree parser, to generate universal frontend asset builds and allow for a classic webserver behaviour, mapping paths to routes, while setting up a non-mutable express app for production. Aden also allows for straight forward server side rendering and API development.

The /docs from this repository are running on aden on a heroku instance at aden.zwerk.io.

Supporting OSX, Linux and Windows.

npm install -g aden
