MicroFramework

Micro framework is a bundle of express.js, Mongodb ODM, validator, dependancy injection framework, configuration framework and restful controllers for your apps using Typescript.

Usage

Create your main application entry point app.ts and put there:

import {MicroFrameworkConfig} from "microframework/MicroFrameworkConfig";
import {MicroFrameworkRunner} from "microframework/MicroFrameworkRunner";

let configuration = {
    express: {
        bodyParser: "json"
    },
    odm: {
        driver: "mongodb",
        connection: {
            url: "mongodb://localhost:27017/microframework-samples"
        }
    }
}; // you can also store this configuration in separate json file and require it

new MicroFrameworkRunner(__dirname, configuration)
    .run()
    .then(result => console.log('Express app is running. Open localhost:3000/questions'))
    .catch(error => console.error('Error: ', error));

Now create your first controller in the controller/ directory. Lets call it QuestionController:

import {Controller, Get} from "type-controllers/Annotations";
import {Response} from "express";
import {Request} from "express";

@Controller()
export class QuestionController {

    @Get('/questions')
    all(request: Request, response: Response): any[] {
        return [
            { title: 'Which processor to choose?', text: 'Which processor is better: Core i5 or Core i7?' },
            { title: 'When new star wars gonna be released?', text: 'When star wars gonna be released? I heard in november' }
        ];
    }
}

Now run your app and open http://localhost:3000/questions in browser. You should see list of your questions. Take a look on samples in ./sample for more examples of usages.
