FoalTS
Node.js framework for creating web applications, written in TypeScript.
FoalTS is a Node.js framework for building web applications, written in TypeScript. It bundles a CLI, testing tools, frontend utilities, authentication, an ORM, deployment environments and GraphQL and Swagger API support in one place, so a project does not need to assemble these from separate npm packages. The application returned by its createApp function is an ExpressJS application. A project is created with npx @foal/cli createapp, and npm run dev starts a development server.
For production, the deployment checklist describes starting the app with the environment set to production, and covers HTTPS, secrets and production database migrations.
