A ligthweight, opinionated, and easy to use typescript library for microservice backend applications based on express.

class UserController extends Controller {
  async index(req: Request) {
    await IndexValidator(req)
    const all = await userRepository.all()

    return { data: collection(UserTransform, all) }
  }

  async show(req: Request) {
    const validated = await ReferenceValidator(req)
    const user = await userRepository.show(validated.id)
    if (!user) throw ResourceNotFoundError()

    return { data: UserTransform(user) }
  }

  async store(req: Request) {
    const validated = await StoreValidator(req)
    const user = await userRepository.create(validated as User)
    return { status: 201, data: UserTransform(user) }
  }

  async update(req: Request) {
    const validated = await UpdateValidator(req)
    await ExistsValidator(req)

    const user = await userRepository.update(validated.id, validated.fields)
    return { status: 202, data: UserTransform(user) }
  }

  async destroy(req: Request) {
    const validated = await ReferenceValidator(req)
    await ExistsValidator(req)

    await userRepository.delete(validated.id)
    return { status: 202 }
  }
}

CLI usage

You can ask for help with:

eensy.cli -h

The CLI currently has 3 generation features: project generation (aka. Init), service generation and resource generation (aka. RESTful entity generation).

Project generation

This command inits a project. Some promts will be shown so that the CLI knows how to generate the best base project.

eensy.cli init

Service generation

This command generates a service inside a project. It will generate all the folder and file structure that you need to start using a new service in your project.

eensy.cli generate:service

Resource generation

This command generates a RESTful resource inside a project. You can select the service that will serve the new resource. You can also choose which parts of the resource files you want to generate, by default the controller, the model, the repository, the REST validators, the routes file, the transform and the testing specs are generated.

eensy.cli generate:resource

About schematics

The built-in CLI of this project uses Angular schematics as the core of file system manipulation. Please show support to the awesome Angular.io community for making such reliable scaffolding library.
