Fabrix is a strongly typed modern web application framework for Node.js. It builds on the pedigree of Rails and Grails to accelerate development by adhering to a straightforward, convention-based, API-driven design philosophy.

Getting Started

Install

The Fabrix CLI is still under development so the following is a placeholder.

$ npm install @fabrix/fab-cli

Start Sewing

Fabrix uses a CLI to generate scaffolding for new applications, and to create resources inside the application. (TODO)

$ fab --help

Usage:
  fab

Generators:

  Create New Model
    fab model <model-name>

  Create New Controller
    fab controller <controller-name>

  Create New Policy
    fab policy <policy-name>

  Create New Service
    fab service <service-name>
    
  Create New Spool
      fab spool <spool-name>

Run

Once installation is complete, begin your journey!

$ node server.js

Happy Fabrix!

Legacy

Fabrix would not have been possible without the substantial work done by the Trails.js team. While Fabrix maintains a different code base and system of best practices, none of this would have been possible without the contributions from the Trails community.
