ZentinelJS

Introduction

Zentinel.JS is a backend framework / boilerplate built on top of Express.JS, structured to mirror the Laravel directory format for a familiar setup. It includes Artisan-like commands called ‘Zentinel’ to streamline development tasks, offering a powerful toolset for efficient backend operations and seamless integration.

Recently Added

The Project is constantly being optimized and updated. Here are the new features I recently implemented.

  • Rate Limit - a mechanism used to control the number of requests a server receives within a certain period of time. It helps to prevent abuse, ensure fair usage, and protect the server from being overwhelmed by excessive requests, which could lead to performance degradation or denial of service.
/* Default Rate Limit Configuration */
const RateLimit = rateLimit({
    /* 15 minutes */
  windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000,


    /* Request Limit Per IP Per Window */
  limit: 100,


    /* draft-6: `RateLimit-*` headers; draft-7: combined `RateLimit` header */
  standardHeaders: 'draft-7',


    /* Disable the `X-RateLimit-*` headers */
  legacyHeaders: false,
})
  • Sequelize ORM - Object/Relational Mapping (ORM) framework for Node. js applications. It enables JavaScript developers to work with relational databases, including support for features such as solid transaction support, relations, read replication, and more.

Goal Checklist

Add Rate Limit
Integrate Mongoose ORM
Integrate Sequelize ORM
Add Socket.io as Native Feature
Add Logger Utility
Recreate Zentinel CLI

Developer

As a developer who constantly seeks to improve my development skills, my goal with Zentinel.JS is to create a powerful yet intuitive backend framework that simplifies the development process for fellow developers. I aim to provide a robust toolset that makes backend operations more efficient and enjoyable, ensuring that developers can focus on building great applications without getting bogged down by repetitive tasks.

I envision Zentinel.JS as a go-to framework for developers who appreciate the structure and convenience of Laravel but prefer to work within the Node.js ecosystem. By combining the best aspects of both worlds, I hope to foster a community where developers can share their experiences, contribute to the project’s growth, and continuously improve their craft. Ultimately, Zentinel.JS will empower developers to create scalable, secure, and high-performance applications with ease, making backend development more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
