⚡️ The Missing Fullstack Toolkit for Next.js

Language: TypeScript

#35 in TypeScript
Two I've been lightly following are Redwood[0] and Blitz[1]. Still a long ways behind something like Rails, but promising nonetheless.

Neat. I am currently exploring using https://github.com/blitz-js/blitz which is another web stack built off next.js and Prisma.

Curious how this compares to it.

> it doesn't exist because nobody really wants it.

Clearly not true, as there's two separate fullstack frameworks being actively developed[0][1], not mentioning the ones in the past (sails.js, meteor.js).

I'm really excited about Prisma and how it's contributing to the Node.js ecosystem. Two new full-stack frameworks, Redwood and Blitz, are based on it, and it's prominently mentioned in their READMEs. https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood https://github.com/blitz-js/blitz

As a status announcement, this isn't quite as exciting as it sounds because migrations are still "experimental". Still great to see!

That's the objective of Blitz.js [1]: build on top of Next.js for a rails-like experience, but made by an independent open-source community.

Something similar also based on Next called Blitz that popped up recently.

RedwoodJS, a new rails like full stack framework for JS is also very interesting: https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood

They focus on a classic server side Rails like workflow but embrace the separation of API and clients on the technical side, for a future as a multi frontend framework (web, mobile etc.).
