Hello and welcome back to another blog! I know it's been a while since I made one of these, so now I'm bringing something new, which is ElysiaJS!
ElysiaJS is a back-end framework made by SaltyAom, that's running on the Bun runtime, built to be 21x faster than ExpressJS on Node! It's easy to use, and friendly for humans! ElysiaJS has features like End-to-End Type Safety, Plugins, OpenAPI Schema to access the API and more!
Personally, I've enjoyed using ElysiaJS, I love its simplicity in creating routes, and the fact that the framework is named off a game character that I love, Elysia, from Honkai Impact 3rd, made me fall in love more with the framework. I recommend this framework if you want to try something new, something that's fast and reliable! And it comes with a pretty solid documentation.
Do you want to try it yourself? You can! Simply install Bun if you haven't already:
Windows:
powershell -c "irm bun.sh/install.ps1 | iex"
MacOS/Linux:
curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
And then create the project:
bun create elysia hi-elysia
Followed by cd-ing into the project and install dependencies.
cd hi-elysia
bun install
And you can immediately start the development server by using:
bun dev
, which runs the index.ts file with the --watch flag, so it'll reload every change you made on the code while the server is running!
Inside the file there's some premade code:
import { Elysia } from "elysia"
const app = new Elysia()
.get("/", () => "Hello Elysia")
.listen(3000)
Notice if you go to http://localhost:3000, you'll see "Hello Elysia"! From here you can create more routes as you wish such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE and other methods available in the framework!
Well, that's it for now! If you're interested in this framework, you can visit its main website for more documentation. See you later, and stay determined!
