A JavaScript framework for building backends with annotations.
AnnotatedJS is a lightweight framework for building JavaScript backends. It is built with TypeScript and favors configuration over convention. This design allows it the flexibility to operate in different runtimes such as Web Workers, Service Workers, and Node.js.
The framework is heavily inspired by Spring and NestJS.
Full documentation can be found on the GitHub page
This framework relies on the decorators experimental JavaScript feature. It is recommended to use Babel to compile codebases that include AnnotatedJS.

const eventHandler = (evt: Event) => {

addEventListener("fetch", eventHandler);AnnotatedJS utilizes a container object to store globally configured values. The framework sets up a container by default but the initialize function and class-level annotations also accept a container object as an argument. This means that multiple containers can be configured if necessary. The container TypeScript type is Record<string, unknown>.
