Introduction

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:

Language	Framework
Ruby	Rails
PHP	Laravel
Python	Masonite
Java/Scala	Play
Go	Revel

Set up your environment

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

Dependencies

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

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

Installation

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.

Creating projects

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}

The overall file structure is as follows:

├── app
│   ├── data_stores
│   │   ├── queries
│   │   └── repositories

└── tests
    └── test_sample.nim

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

ducere serve # includes hot reloading
> Run server for development

ducere build
./startServer
> Run server for production
