NODEFONY V5

Nodefony is Node.js full-stack web framework.

Nodefony can be used to develop a complete solution to create a web application.

The Nodefony project is inspired by the PHP Symfony framework, a developer can find most of the concepts, configurations and patterns of Symfony framework.

Nodefony is not an exhaustive port of symfony !

Nodefony features :

Servers (http(s), websocket(s), statics, sockjs)
HTTP2 http2 ready node module provides an implementation of the HTTP/2 (push server ready).
Dynamics routing
ORM (Sequelize, mongoose)
Simple Databases Services connections (Redis, Mongo, Elasticsearch, mysql, sqlite ...).
MVC templating (Twig)
Notion of real-time context in Action Controller (websocket).
Notion of synchronous or asynchronous execution in Action Controller (Promise, Async, Await).
Services Containers, Dependency Injection (Design Patterns)
Sessions Manager (ORM, memcached)
Authentication Manager (Digest, Basic, oAuth, Local, ldap, jwt, openid)
WAF ( Web application firewall )
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)
Production Management (PM2)
RealTime API (Bayeux Protocol)
Webpack Assets management (Like WDS with HMR hot module Replacement)
C++ Addons (Binding in Bundle)
Translations
CLI (Command Line Interface)
Monitororing , Debug Bar
Unit Test Api in framework context (MOCHA)

Nodefony assimilates into the ecosystem of node.js with services like :

WEBPACK Module bundler for assets management of application .
SockJS Server ( Like WDS 'Webpack Dev Server' and HMR management )
WATCHER node.js for auto reload-files in developement mode .
PM2 Production Process Manager for Node.js .
Passport Simple, unobtrusive authentication for Node.js .
~~Angular Experimental Bundle Generator ( Angular cli no longer allows the ejection of a webpack config)~~

Nodefony 5 adds the following features :

C++ Addons (Binding in Bundle)
Authorisations
HTTP2
WEBPACK 4
React Experimental Bundle Generator ( Now an React Project can be merge into a Nodefony Bundle )
Vue.js Experimental Bundle Generator ( Now an Vue.js Project can be merge into a Nodefony Bundle )

Evolution priorities for the next version will focus on robustness, unit testing, documentation and security.

Nodefony is ported with ECMAScript 6 ( Class, Inheritance ).

You can follow Nodefony build on travis at https://travis-ci.org/nodefony/nodefony

Linux or OSX Installation (Recommanded)

NVM Installation (Node Version Manager ) :

NVM Node Version Manager - Simple bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions

To install or update nvm, you can use the install script:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
# or
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash

$ source ~/.bashrc # or source ~/.bash_profile
$ nvm ls-remote # show all remote versions  
$ nvm ls # show local versions

Node.js Installation with NVM :

nvm install node # "node" is an alias for the latest version

Nodefony Excutable Installation (Globally Recommanded) :

npm -g install nodefony

# or with yarn

yarn global add nodefony

Error that you can usually find :

EACCES error See Global install How to Prevent Permissions Errors (Reinstall npm with a Node Version Manager)
Different Node.js version (NODE_MODULE_VERSION XX) use 'nodefony rebuild'

Windows Installation

Node.js Installation : nvm-windows to easily switch Node versions between different projects. or To install or update Node.js, you can download installer here Node.js

Nodefony Excutable Installation :

Launch a CMD terminal

npm -g install nodefony

# or with yarn

yarn global add nodefony

Add NPM global bin in $Path windows :

On the Windows System Property Menu, configure Path environment variable by adding :

C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\npm
or
C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\npm\bin

Checking a Nodefony Project Pre-Production (Usefull to check Clusters Node) :

$ nodefony preprod

Serving a Nodefony project with HTTPS

By default nodefony listen secure port in 5152 @see config/config.js

During the installation process all the openssl parts were generated ( self-signed localhost certificate ).

You can Change default openssl configuration in :

ls -l config/openssl

├── ca
│   └── openssl.cnf
└── ca_intermediate
    └── openssl.cnf

You must Add a Trusted CA in your Browser : projectName-root-ca.crt.pem You can find certificate authority (ca) here:

config/certificates/ca/projectName-root-ca.crt.pem

Access to Secure App with URL : https://localhost:5152

Access to App with URL : http://localhost:5151

Quick Start

Install Nodefony :

$ npm -g install nodefony

See Global install How to Prevent Permissions Errors

Create Project :

$ nodefony create myproject
$ cd myproject

Generating a New Bundle :

CLI Generate new bundle : default path src/bundles

$ nodefony generate:bundle name [path]

# Or Generate a New Bundle Interactive
$ nodefony

?  Nodefony CLI :  Generater
?  Nodefony CLI :  (Use arrow keys)
❯ Generate New Bundle
  Generate New Controller
  Generate New Service
  Generate New Entity
  Generate New Nodefony Project
  Generate Openssl Certificates
  Generate Haproxy Configuration

Starting Servers to check new Bundle hello:

$ npm start
or
$ nodefony dev

Access to bundle route with URL : http://localhost:5151/hello

Access to bundle route with URL : https://localhost:5152/hello

Now hello-bundle is auto-insert in framework with watcher active and auto-config Webpack Module bundler

Example controller : src/bundles/hello-bundle/controller/defaultController.js

module.exports = class defaultController extends nodefony.controller {

  constructor (container, context){
    super(container, context);
  }
  /**
   *
   *  @method indexAction
   *
   */
  indexAction (){
    return this.render("hello-bundle::index.html.twig", {
      name: "hello-bundle"    
    }).catch((e) =>{
      throw e ;
    });
  }
};

Example view (twig) : src/bundles/hello-bundle/Resources/views/index.html.twig

{% extends '/app/Resources/views/base.html.twig' %}
{% block title %}Welcome {{name}}! {% endblock %}
{% block stylesheets %}
  {{ parent() }}
  <!-- WEBPACK BUNDLE -->
  <link rel='stylesheet' href='{{CDN("stylesheet")}}/hello-bundle/assets/css/hello.css' />
{% endblock %}
{% block body %}
  {% block header %}
    {{ render( controller('app:app:header' )) }}
  {% endblock %}

        </a>
        <p class='display-4 mt-5'>{{trans('welcome')}}</p>
        <p>{{binding}}</p>

{% endblock %}
{% block javascripts %}
  {{ parent() }}
  <!-- WEBPACK BUNDLE -->
  <script src='{{CDN("javascript")}}/hello-bundle/assets/js/hello.js'></script>
{% endblock %}

watchers :

The bundle generation engine build bundle config with node.js watcher configuration

In developement mode is very usefull to auto-reload files as controllers , views , routing , translations

without having to reboot the server.

You can see hello-bundle config : src/bundles/hello-bundle/Resources/config/config.js

Webpack Module bundler :

The bundle generation engine build bundle config with a predefined webpack configuration

In this way webpack is very usefull to manage all assets of bundle

In developement mode watch is very usefull to auto-compile webpack module bundle

without having to reboot the server

You can see hello-bundle config webpack : src/bundles/hello-bundle/Resources/config/webpack.config.js

const path = require("path");
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require("mini-css-extract-plugin");
const webpackMerge = require('webpack-merge');

// Default context <bundle base directory>
//const context = path.resolve(__dirname, "..", "Resources", "public");
const public = path.resolve(__dirname, "..", "public", "assets");
const bundleName = path.basename(path.resolve(__dirname, "..", ".."));
const publicPath = bundleName + "/assets/";
