Resty.js

A modern, lightweight, and type-safe framework for building server-side applications with Node.js and TypeScript.

Resty.js provides a robust set of decorators and tools to build scalable APIs quickly. It integrates seamlessly with Express.js while offering a superior developer experience with Dependency Injection, declarative routing, and built-in production best practices.

Features

• Type-Safe: Built with TypeScript for TypeScript.
• Declarative Routing: Use decorators like @Controller, @Get, @Post to define your API.
• Dependency Injection: Built-in DI container powered by typedi.
• Developer Experience:
  • 🚀 CLI: resty dev for instant hot-reloading.
  • 🛠 VS Code Extension: Snippets for faster coding.
  • 📦 Modular: Core is lightweight; optional packages for CLI, specific integrations.
• Production Ready:
  • Security headers (Helmet)
  • CORS support
  • Compression
  • Graceful Shutdown
  • Context-aware Request ID

Installation

npm install @restyjs/core reflect-metadata
npm install -D @restyjs/cli typescript

Quick Start

Create a src/index.ts file:

import "reflect-metadata";
import { resty, Controller, Get } from "@restyjs/core";

@Controller("/hello")
class HelloController {
  @Get("/")
  index() {
    return { message: "Hello World" };
  }
}

const app = resty({
  controllers: [HelloController],
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log("Server started on http://localhost:3000");
});

Run it with hot reload:

npx resty dev
