mojo VS Express

Initial thoughts

If you end up doing web development, check out Mojolicious:

https://mojolicious.org/

If you choose to go down the Mojolicious road, there's lots of deployment information and guides in the Mojolicious Cookbook.

I guess this will make it harder to search for Mojo(licious)-related stuff. 😩

But if I want the return value of 'test_p' or the error message 'This is an error', I can't seem to figure that out. I tried looking at the promise tests (https://github.com/mojolicious/mojo/blob/main/t/mojo/promise.t) but that didn't seem to work either.

Several! The 3 big players in order of release are Catalyst, (released in 2005), Dancer2 (Dancer was first released in 2009, but went through a complete re-write as Dancer2 around 2013), and Mojolicious (released in 2010).

This project sounds to me like the perfect excuse to learn Mojolicious if you're interested in converting your scripts into a web application using Perl.

Awesome! I still use Perl on a pretty regular basis both for work and fun. I really enjoy it. Definitely take a look at Mojolicious if you haven't already. It's primarily focused on being a web framework (both server and client), but it's nicely modular so you can use bits and pieces of the stack. In i3mojo, I used the Mojo::IOLoop event loop, Mojo::Base as a base class system, and Mojo::UserAgent as a web client for some plugins.

Last time I used Perl for anything web it was via https://mojolicious.org/

It even does event-based and websockets

On the index.js, environment variables are loaded, then we can find the API routing powered with Express. Here is the /send request:

Express: A lightweight framework for building web applications.

Now, we will create API using expressjs. When we created application using --ssr flag, the Angular CLI already took care of installing expressjs for us.

First, we import express. The Express framework allows us to create routes that will respond to webhook POST requests and serve an HTML file when a GET request is made to the root of the site.

Basic Knowledge of Express

Express.js Documentation

In the JavaScript ecosystem, there are guides for enabling SAML-based enterprise single sign-on in AdonisJS, Express.js, Next.js, Remix, and React with an Express.js backend.

Starting off strong with Express.js, the cool kid on the block for building web apps. It's lightweight, flexible, and doesn't throw a tantrum when you ask it to scale. With Express, you can handle HTTP requests like a pro, play around with middleware, set up routes without breaking a sweat, and render views that make your app look stunning. Big names like Netflix and Uber are already on board, and if it's good enough for them, it's definitely worth a peek.
