Basolato Framework

An asynchronous full-stack web framework for Nim, based on asynchttpserver.

⚠️ This project is under heavy development. It's not yet production-ready. ⚠️

The only supported OS are Alpine, Debian, and Ubuntu.
It is recommended to use Docker regular flavor for development.
nimlang/nim:1.6.6-alpine-regular or nimlang/nim:1.6.6-ubuntu-regular

Basolato extends asynchttpserver, an implements a high performance asynchronous HTTP server in Nim std library, while also adding features for full-stack development. It was also heavily inspired by other frameworks:

In order to start using Basolato, you'll first need a working Nim installation. You can find installation instructions for Nim here. Once installed, make sure Nimble, Nim's package manager, is already in your PATH. If not, add .nimble/bin in your favorite shell.

export PATH=$PATH:~/.nimble/bin

The framework depends on several libraries (installed automatically by Nimble):

• allographer, a library for building queries.
• flatdb, a small Flatfile database, used for sessions.
• bcrypt, used for hashing passwords.
• faker, for generating fake data.
• sass, provides a Sass/SCSS to CSS compiler for Nim through bindings to libsass.

You can install Basolato easily using Nimble:

nimble install https://github.com/itsumura-h/nim-basolato

After installing Basolato, you should have access to the ducere command on your shell.

Using ducere you can easily create a template project structure to start development right away. Ducere will generate a folder automatically using your project name.

cd /your/project/dir
ducere new {project_name}

With your project ready, you can start serving requests using ducere:

ducere serve # includes hot reloading
