Syntra

A Modular RESTful API Server

Short Overview

Syntra is a modular RESTful API server designed to bring a structured approach to building APIs. It includes:

• Built-in Swagger documentation
• Automatically generated CRUD operations
• Built-in security mechanisms
• JWT authentication for secure access
• Extensible architecture through plugins

Why Choose Syntra?

Syntra offers a robust set of features, but it is essential to understand how it differs from other solutions, such as traditional ORM systems.

Key Differences

At first glance, Syntra might resemble an ORM, but it has a fundamentally different approach:

const row1: Book = Book.select(1);
const row2: Book = Book.select(1);

row1.title.setValue("Changed Title");

console.log(row1.title.getValue()); // Changed Title
console.log(row2.title.getValue()); // Title

In Syntra, objects are not references to each other, even when selecting the same row multiple times.

Strict Ruleset

Unlike traditional ORMs, Syntra enforces a strict set of rules:

• Primary keys are always big integers (bigint).
• Only JSON-serializable datatypes are allowed.
