Creating a web server with typescript, should I go for express or fastify? Which one has better packages for typescript integration? Any recommendations for packages for each?

• nestjs-commander

  11 398 8.8 TypeScript

  A module for using NestJS to build up CLI applications

There's two underlying packages, one for either HTTP adapter, @nestjs/platform-express and @nestjs/platfoorm-fastify. Both of these have HttpAdapter classes that implement the abstract HttpAdapter that Nest uses as a main interface. Nest doesn't actually need the adapters to run either, you can make a microservice application that doesn't have any HTTP components, or even CLI applications with community packages (disclaimer: that one is mine). Nest is really there to help provide the modular system and help with architecture (in my opinion).

• routing-controllers

  6 4,333 8.9 TypeScript

  Create structured, declarative and beautifully organized class-based controllers with heavy decorators usage in Express / Koa using TypeScript and Routing Controllers Framework.

  

If I don’t want to use nest then I would use express or koa with routing-controllers. Using this package you can write controllers with classes and decorators which is similar to nest js. There are a lot of other features too.

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io featured
