This _hyperscript-node example is a web framework built on top of express with _hyperscript.org, based on the _hyperscript repo's nodejs example. Although _hyperscript is originally designed for simple, HTML DOM - based interactions, it is a beautifully simple and fun language to write in, and I found myself wanting to write endpoints with _hyperscript. While not opinionated, I had an MVC framework in mind for small, fast apps, focusing on developer productivity, with a code-gen cli similar to Ember CLI.
It was also an excuse for me to play with htmx. :)
It uses Sequelize as an ORM, and I have it currently connected to MariaDB but you can use whichever DB provider you'd prefer.
Handlebars is used as the templating laguage, but again feel free to play with it.
If you have VScode, there is a pretty neat launch.json configuration file with this repository, otherwise npm run start works just as well. You'll need a .env file with a Database config ready, and by default the app runs on port 1337.
I've modified both node-hyperscript.js and _hyperscript.js, and had some trouble installing them with NPM, so I added the libraries and the appropraite license to the /lib folder. I'd like to clean up some of the changes and get a PR together for the official _hyperscript.org repo, I just haven't done that yet and I'm kind of lazy.
This is experimental software, I wouldn't use it in production, but it might be cool to use the bootstrapping function and write some node scripts with it, who knows.
