  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App

  • TypeORM

    ORM for TypeScript and JavaScript. Supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL Server, Oracle, SAP Hana, WebSQL databases. Works in NodeJS, Browser, Ionic, Cordova and Electron platforms.

  • Express.js is the primary web framework, almost everyone uses it. For database, you can try a query builder like knex.js and there's ORMs like Sequelize and TypeORM. But before this, you'd need to understand databases. I've worked with MySQL and PostgreSQL mainly, not much of an experience with NoSQL databases. For your API layers, you can check out GraphQL or a simple REST API using express. If it's super simple stuff, just make a JSON RPC.

  • Sequelize

    Feature-rich ORM for modern Node.js and TypeScript, it supports PostgreSQL (with JSON and JSONB support), MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL Server, Snowflake, Oracle DB (v6), DB2 and DB2 for IBM i.
