Introduction
What is Kvell ?
Kvell.js is a family of packages using which you can create Node.js applications with pre-defined configurations, a fixed application flow and a set of abstractions. It bootstraps the node application with a set of popularly used npm packages and provides a minimal setup environment so that the developer can focus directly on writing the essential parts of the application.
What does it do ?
- Maintains a proper code standard.
- Abstracts out server configurations.
- Abstracts out database related configurations.
- Maintains a consistent top-level folder structure.
- Provides support for writing and viewing API documentations without any setups.
- Provides auto-template creation for routes and models.
- Does automatic git initialization (if possible) on project setup.
- Provides a very simple and basic logging mechanism.
Kvell takes inspiration from create-react-app in it's implementation and shares some similarity with create-react-app's methodology and internal flow when it comes to how it works under the hood.
