Expressive Tea is framework to help build server-side applications inNodeJS and use modern Javascript powered byTypescript. As Expressive Tea is usingexpress is compatible with all the middlewares and modules and providean easy migration from express applications.

Expressive Tea is a flexible framework but also giving freedom to the developer to build their own architecturesby providing descriptive decorators, a plugin engine, shareable modules and moder Javascript.

Server-side applications it contains awesome tools, helpers, and libraries to improve productivity but at same time ithaves a large downside,architecture. Expressive Tea main motivation is relief the stress of the architecture byproviding a shareable/pluggable projects, you can write a plugin to setting up express middlewares, databases settings,or websockets to name some; and you can share them through your next projects or the community.

Main goal is making uncomplicaded creation of server-side applications, modulables, plugables, free and efortlessarchitecture.

• Easy Setting up and start up of webserver.
• Extends and configuration with plugins and well-defined boot stages.
• Modules are not hard dependencies and can be shareable between projects.
• Declare Server Middlewares configuration as hard or soft dependency at server level.
• Dependency Injection is available for controllers as providers declared in modules using InversifyJs.
• Declarative Router on Controllers.
• Declarative Verbs and Middlewares under module and verb level.
• Declarative Exceptions for a better Error Handling.

• Express - The web framework used
• Typescript - Main Language
• Inversify - Used for dependency Injection
• Reflect Metadata - Used to get code metadata.
• YARN - Used to build and dependencies.

Important! Expressive Tea requires Node >= 6, Express >= 4, TypeScript >= 2.0 and theexperimentalDecorators,lib compilation options in yourtsconfig.json with the next configuration.

Expressive Tea is not having any configuration of any Express Plugin or any database connection beside is built iton Express it is woking asBring Your Own Architecture.
