README.md

AdonisJS is a fully-featured backend framework for Node.js. The framework is created from ground-up with strong emphasis on developer ergonomics and ease of use.

It is one of the rarest framework in the Node.js community that ships with a suite of first party packages that helps you create and ship products without wasting hundreds of hours in assembling different npm packages.

Features

Following are some hand-picked features from the framework core and first party packages.

HTTP layer with support for routing, middleware, session, secure cookies, and a lot more.
Support for file uploads.
Filesystem drive to move user uploaded files to cloud services like S3, GCS and Digital ocean.
Schema validator to validate forms.
Template engine to create traditional server render applications in no time.
SQL ORM built on top of Active record.
A fully featured authentication layer with support for sessions, api tokens, and social auth.
Baked-in support for testing
We have just scratched the surface. AdonisJS has a lot more that you usually need when building robust applications.
