Hey all,
I've just uploaded the source code to a pet project I've been working on
over the past few weeks - an MVC web framework written with D.
https://bitbucket.org/mrmonday/serenity/src
It's by no means ready for production use, I'm posting here primarily
for some early feedback on how things work/how they should work/any
issues I'm overlooking.
The primary files to look at are:
- bootstrap.d: Entry point for the web app - this *is* going to
change, haven't decided how yet.
- example/controllers/Home.d: A hybrid Hello world/show some blog
posts controller
- example/models/Home.d: The model which the home controller is
powered by.
Currently features include:
- A minimal ORM (lots of work needed here, works for the basics though)
- An HTML document builder - remove the need for ugly/inefficient
templating systems, and allow output to HTML5/4/JSON/XML/XHTML to be
easily switched between (only HTML5 currently works, and is slightly
broken due to laziness, see comments in the implementation)
- A minimal SQL abstraction layer - currently supports SQLite,
functions similarly to the HTML document builder
Obviously there's still a lot to do, things that come to mind are
logging, caching, configuration, security, administration, <insert huge
list of functionality todays web frameworks have>.
Any feedback on what I have so far is welcome, I'm also looking for
feedback on future directions, issues I'm likely to hit, ways you think
it can be improved from what it is now, things you think will be
important etc.
Thanks,
