# Angel
|
||
|
|
An easily-extensible web server framework in Dart.

# About
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I come from Node development, usually with Express and FeathersJS. When I started learning
|
||
|
|
Dart, I fell in love with it and the huge potential it has on the client-side. But I did
|
||
|
|
feel that server-side was lacking.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The goal of Angel is to present a server environment navigable to JavaScript pilgrims,
|
||
|
|
but also powerful enough to build robust JSON API's in little time. Another focus is to
|
||
|
|
make Angel extremely extensible, and thus most of the most common business logic is
|
||
|
|
shipped as its own separate Angel plugin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In my opinion, it makes no sense that today's frontend tools have no real sense of
|
||
|
|
integration with backend tools, at least in JavaScript, where there are a trillion
|
||
|
|
of each. With the right server framework in Dart, we can build full-stack apps that
|
||
|
|
breathe and function as one single body, rather than as two segregated, monolithic units.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tally ho!

# Development
|
||
|
|
The base of Angel is just about done, but it still needs more
|
||
|
|
unit tests before it is ready for production.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you'd like to contribute, feel free to read the docs (as well
|
||
|
|
as though generated by dartdoc), and then clone the repo. I plan to eventually
|
||
|
|
integrate Angel with Travis, so we can merge pull requests faster.
