Nest - Js Framework

Nest is a framework for building efficient, scalable Node.js applications using modern JavaScript and TypeScript. It combines object oriented programming, functional programming, and functional reactive programming. Nest makes use of Express but also provides compatibility with other libraries like Fastify. It aims to provide an application architecture that allows for effortless creation of highly testable, scalable, loosely coupled and easily maintainable applications, taking inspiration from projects like Angular.

Description

Nest is a framework for building efficient, scalable Node.js server-side applications. It uses
modern JavaScript, is built with TypeScript (preserves compatibility with pure JavaScript) and
combines elements of OOP (Object Oriented Programming), FP (Functional Programming),
and FRP (Functional Reactive Programming).

Under the hood, Nest makes use of Express, but also, provides compatibility with a wide range
of other libraries, like e.g. Fastify, allowing for easy use of the myriad third-party plugins which
are available.

Philosophy
In recent years, thanks to Node.js, JavaScript has become the “lingua franca” of the web for
both front and backend applications, giving rise to awesome projects
like Angular, React and Vue which improve developer productivity and enable the
construction of fast, testable, extensible frontend applications. However, on the server-side,
while there are a lot of superb libraries, helpers and tools for Node, none of them effectively
solve the main problem - the architecture.

Nest aims to provide an application architecture out of the box which allows for effortless
creation of highly testable, scalable, loosely coupled and easily maintainable applications. The
architecture is heavily inspired by Angular.
