Pronounced "runway," rnwy is a super simple, lightweight Node.js framework for building web applications. It draws inspiration from Ruby on Rails.
rnwy is intentionally designed as a toy framework and exhibits minimalistic approach with its limited features. Built to serve specific needs and dev experience, it emulates the conventions, features and project directory structure with some variations (obviously). rnwy uses Fastify, a high-performance web framework for Node.js, as the server.
I am building this project to retain the joy I experience when building web applications with Ruby on Rails. Since, at times, the need arises to write backend and services in Node.js, I want to have a similar experience doing so.
- Routing
- Controllers
- Job Queues (to run things later)
The features above are the ones I need to build the services I am working on. I will add more features as I need them.
