Biff
Full-stack web framework for Clojure with SQLite, Datastar, email sign-in and an admin dashboard, composed from separate libraries.
Biff is a full-stack web framework for Clojure, composed from separate libraries that each have their own documentation. It covers SQLite storage, server-side rendering with Datastar, email sign-in and an admin dashboard. A new project starts from the biff-starter repository, which is cloned with git and run with a Clojure command-line task.
Worth knowing
SQLite is the default database, and XTDB is the documented alternative. The admin library shows usage metrics, a user directory and email alerts. The biff.tasks library provisions an Ubuntu server for production deployments.
