LionRockJS

Node.js MVC structure base on Kohana Framework, With ORM using better-sqlite3 View with LiquidJS

Getting started

The file structure

 L application
   L classes
   L config
   L logs
   - bootstrap.js
   - routes.js

   L modules
     L example-module
       L index.js
       L init.js
       L routes.js
       L classes
       L config
       L views
 L views

 - main.js

Bootstrap

module.exports = { };

ORM

ORM provide following static variables:

• ORM.tableName
  • table name of the class
• ORM.jointTablePrefix
• ORM.belongsTo
  • list of the class belongs
• ORM.hasMany
• ORM.belongsToMany

Controller

Controller provide basic flow of execution.

1. constructor
2. before
3. action_xxx
4. after

it also provide basic function

1. redirect(location);
2. notFound(msg);

default action:

1. action_index

Controller Mixin

We can use extends to provide addition features to controller, but it will increase complexity and unused functions to child classes.

Controller Mixin introduced to prevent problems create by extends.

//sample controller mixin
class SampleMixin extends ControllerMixin{
static mixins = [...ControllerMixin.mixins, SampleMixin];

//client is a controller
constructor(client)

//add function on before
async before()
async after()

//manually called by client controller
action_index()
action_something()

//additional functions
getView(path, data)
moreFunctions(arg)

}

sample code to add mixin in controller

class ControllerView extends Controller{
  static mixins = [...Controller.mixins, ControllerMixinView];

  constructor(request){
    super(request);
  }
  
  action_index(){

  }
}
