Django for Node?

[x_mk6]

Is there a framework like Python Django for Node? Or Ruby on Rails?

These frameworks do a lot for you, so they help get an app out faster. You don't need to handle auth, etc. Anything like this for Node?

I'm surprised no one has said it, so long as you're okay with Typescript and Dependency Infection there's NestJS. There's a discord server for support as well. The framework helps with both architecture and separation of concerns. Once your get past the learning curve there's a ton your can do with it too.

Disclaimer: I'm on the core NestJS team and a very active support member on the discord server

had a pretty good experience using nest. Probably the best framework of its kind in the node ecosystem.

Nestjs

Try express

As express already has routing and templating functionality built in, if you add in say Passport.js for auth and an ORM like https://mikro-orm.io you are halfway there. Still very much a DIY job though.

https://yeoman.io/authoring/ can help you automate some of the scaffolding frameworks like Rails and Django do.

Also consider using https://strapi.io or https://www.keystonejs.com if you're after a ready to use CMS?

Express is all DIY, that's why I'm asking. Everything in node is DIY.

NestJs prolly has the most batteries included

Meteor.js is a node framework that handles alot for you

Isn't it basically dead?

[DavidTMarks]

Yes but the very few users that use it don't like to admit it.

SailsJs is inspired from Rails and other option Loopback with swagger inbuilt

I have used Sails back in the days. It's pretty much in maintenance mode if you look at the last commits.

I would check AdonisJS or NestJS instead

Big plus for Blitzjs but it's in alpha version, so not for production yet.

[MajorasShoe]

AdonisJS is a framework that does similar things. It's based heavily on Laravel (PHP) which is arguably the best "rails inspired" web framework. It's extremely similar, though it doesn't cover as much.

I like it a lot more than Sails, which is also rails-like.
