iti VS ExpressBeans

I didn’t want to adopt a framework for a bigger one, so I’ve built a manual DI helper.

It is for typescript. It is really helpful for me.

https://itijs.org

If you are interested, I wrote an obscure DI helper library to help mi with ts/react/nest apps. Most examples use classes, but it perfectly works with pure functions. Nothing groundbreaking, just helps me ship apps with lazy async data pipelines faster https://github.com/molszanski/iti

I've had success in adding an iti to an existing 50K app

I did the same thing because at work we are starting to use nodejs for some microservices and using nestJs is too much for simple little projects. I do like how nestjs make you organize code but the flexibility of plain express application is the reason we choose nodejs for some services. So i wrote a small wrapper of express to achive dependency injection and configuration of an express app but using a convenient way to organize code. You can also use it in hybrid mode directly accessing express. If you want to take a look is on github under MIT license. I use it as a starting point for project with the command: npm create express-beans-server

I use express at work to build RESTful api to be consumed via http requests. As Glad_Ad_2244 said NestJS allows you to organize better project and functionalities but I think it's a bit too much for simple little servers, so I wrote a really lightweight library for that with a project generator to startup new services in no time and with zero configurations. All of that is OSS with MIT license so you can take a look at https://github.com/spaghiajoeojo/express-beans Try using this command: npm create express-beans-server

It's a lightweight IOC-Container to achive dependency injection and MVC-like code organization on top of express.
