A comprehensive framework and set of utilities for Node.js, providing tools for filesystem management, database interaction, HTTP controllers, middleware, and a service container (IoC). It includes specialized packages for string and array manipulation, promise pooling, streams, and Handlebars template integration, with support for CommonJS, ESM, and TypeScript across versions 2.x and 3.x.

What's inside SuperchargeJS

  1. Overview of Handlebars integration in Supercharge

    Supercharge uses the Handlebars template rendering engine to generate HTML. It automatically recognizes files with the .hbs extension located in the resources/views directory.

  2. Overview of the Supercharge Application instance

    The Application instance is the central hub of every Supercharge application (both HTTP and console). It manages the application's root directory (base path), which the framework uses to boot the app and resolve internal directory paths. It also functions as an IoC (Inversion of Control) container for managing class dependencies via dependency injection.

  3. Introduction to Handlebars in Supercharge

    Supercharge uses the Handlebars template rendering engine to translate views into HTML. It supports files with the .hbs extension and automatically discovers all view files located in the resources/views directory.

  4. Overview of Service Providers in Supercharge

    Service providers are used to bootstrap a Supercharge application. They serve as a central location to compose the application by registering services into the container, loading routes, binding controllers, and attaching event listeners. Supercharge automatically loads providers listed in the bootstrap/providers.ts file during application startup.

  5. Overview of Supercharge Views

    Views in Supercharge separate presentation logic from application logic and are served as HTML. All view templates must be located in the resources/views directory or its subfolders. Supercharge uses the @hapi/vision library for template rendering and is configured to use Handlebars as the default rendering engine.

  6. Overview of Inertia in Supercharge

    Inertia bridges modern frontend stacks (Vue.js or React) with the Supercharge backend. The @supercharge/inertia package extends the request and response instances with request.inertia() and response.inertia() methods to manage Inertia-related data and responses.

  7. Overview of Supercharge framework architecture

    Supercharge is a full-stack Node.js framework designed to provide more structure than typical web frameworks. It emphasizes a well-conceived application architecture to ensure apps are scalable, testable, and maintainable. Unlike basic frameworks that only handle request lifecycles, Supercharge allows developers to decouple business logic from route handlers—for example, by moving tasks like sending welcome emails into background processes or event listeners to avoid cluttering route handlers.

  8. Overview of the Supercharge Service Container

    Supercharge uses a service container (Inversion of Control/IoC container) to manage dependencies. It allows developers to register dependencies and retrieve them when needed, facilitating dependency injection. This approach decouples classes from their dependencies, making the application easier to test by allowing the injection of mock objects or fake data.

  9. Overview of the Supercharge Node.js framework

    Supercharge is a full-stack Node.js framework designed to provide a structured application architecture for building scalable, testable, and maintainable applications. Unlike traditional web frameworks that focus primarily on route registration and request lifecycles, Supercharge allows developers to decouple business logic from route handlers. For example, tasks like sending a welcome email during user registration can be moved to background processes (such as event listeners) to prevent cluttering the route handler.

  10. Understand the Supercharge Service Container

    Supercharge uses a service container to implement dependency injection. This allows you to decouple classes from their dependencies, making the application easier to test by allowing the injection of mock objects or fake data. Unlike some containers, Supercharge does not resolve dependencies automatically; you must actively retrieve services from the container using the make method.

  11. Supercharge framework overview

    Supercharge is a Node.js web application framework written in TypeScript. It is composed of multiple core packages (such as @supercharge/core, @supercharge/http, @supercharge/session, and @supercharge/view) that provide specific functionalities like IOC containers, configuration stores, and HTTP routing. All core packages are released with the same version number to ensure compatibility and simplify updates.

  12. Use @supercharge/set for enhanced Set functionality

    The @supercharge/set package provides a Set class that extends native Set behavior with array-like methods. It is not a drop-in replacement for the native JavaScript Set class, but rather a specialized implementation that treats sets more like arrays.
    const Set = require('@supercharge/set')

const users = Set.from([])

users.isEmpty()
// true

users
  .add({ id: 1, name: 'Marcus' })
  .add({ id: 2, name: 'Norman' })
  .add({ id: 3, name: 'Christian' })

users.isNotEmpty()
// true

const usernamesArray = users
  .map(user => {
    return user.name
  })
  .toArray()

// [ 'Marcus', 'Norman', 'Christian' ]

const marcus = users.find(user => {
  return user.name === 'Marcus'
})

// { id: 1, name: 'Marcus' }
