AdonisJS

One of the best framework for backend web development is Laravel. In combination with awesome documentation, this beautiful written piece of software is one of the pillar why is php still relevant and popular. This is also his drawback, web programming in last years is transitioning from php to JavaScript and TypeScript written languages. We have plenty frameworks for web backend and API written in JS, but no one of them can't compare with speed and productivity that Laravel offers during development. Until now... It's not a secret that AdonisJS copied entire pattern of Laravel from ground up, how Controller is functioning, Middleware, Routing, Validation etc. Adonis is Node.js fullstack framework written in TypeScript and this helps him to maintain a good balance between the static type safety and the visual noise. His main focus is on ergonomics and speed. This framework includes everything you need to create a fully functional web app or API server from start. You need a database? No problem, AdonisJS comes with LucidORM that help you connect to almost every type of the database and makes it super easy to perform CRUD operations, manage relationships between models, and define lifecycle hooks. If you prefer, you can make your custom sql queries instead of Lucid, Adonis won't complain about that. Also, AdonisJS comes with a fully fledged authentication system to authenticate the users of your application using sessions, basic auth or API tokens. Security is important part of any application and this framework protect you from common web attack such as CSRF, XSS and content sniffing. If you are familiar with Symfony cli/console or Laravel Artisan command, you will appreciate Adonis ACE command line interface. Creating routes, models, controllers, views, working with migrations, seeding the database, executing commands... ACE will save you a lot of time during development. One of the benefits for TypeScript languages instead PHP is a speed, our benchmarks shows that AdonisJS is about 10-15% faster in comparison with Laravel for same usage. Project is young but attracted a lot of attention for small period of time. Numbers of contributors and packages growing every day. AdonisJS deserve to try it at least on one project, this is a framework that will you provide interesting developer experience.
