Alpha Version Release of Gland Framework 🚀

[bitsgenix]

I’m excited to announce that the alpha version of the Gland framework is now live! This marks a big milestone in the development of Gland, and we’re looking forward to hearing your feedback as we continue refining it.

The alpha version includes four key packages:

1. @glandjs/core – Responsible for Dependency Injection (DI) implementation and project setup. This package serves as the core of the framework.
2. @glandjs/common – Contains common utilities and decorators like Channel, Controller, Module, and others.
3. @glandjs/events – Manages events and communication between various components of the system.
4. @glandjs/http – Handles HTTP requests and responses, and works seamlessly with other packages.

While the framework is still in its alpha phase and may have bugs or some unstable features, this is an important first step toward creating a robust, modular, and event-driven framework.

What You Can Do

• Explore the packages: You can check out the individual packages here, @glandjs/http, @glandjs/events, and @glandjs/common.
• Try out the example: Get started by checking the simple example on GitHub here.
• Report bugs or feedback: If you encounter any bugs, issues, or have feedback, feel free to report them in this discussion or open an issue on GitHub.

We’re eager to hear your thoughts and experiences with this first release as we work towards the beta version. If you have any questions or need help getting started, feel free to ask here!

Looks great! One question though, when I run the example and then try to go to localhost:3000, it says the following:
[Gland:Events] [WARN] No listeners for "http:$router:miss", event queued.
And then the page freezes up.
Am I doing something wrong?

After reviewing the code, I also noticed that the HttpCore.get function is never getting called when the example code calls the @​Get decorator, meaning the route is never registered. Is this a bug, or are you still in the process of implementing that?

What route are you requesting the code you are running? I have tried several times in several different situations. They all work fine in /users.

Can I see the log in the console?

[m-mdy-m]

If you can. create an issue in the repo

[xDefyingGravity]

Oh sorry, My brain skipped over the "users" controller part, so I was just trying to go to / instead of /users 😅. On the other hand, I am in love with the syntax so far! It is very clean.

No problem. I guessed it was because of this. Because I did it myself a few times....Thanks for the feedback. I hope I can improve it faster so we can build a community!

Congrats! God knows how much I wanted this release in the past few days. It looks like you even started the docs for Gland, which is great!

Looking forward to doing a lot of fascinating things with Gland!

[m-mdy-m]

Thank you very much! I hope you can use it. This is an alpha version, if you see a bug you can issue it. Also, the APIs that gland provides may be a bit unreadable or anything that you think is not good. Let us know so we can think about it and come to a conclusion!

I'll do my best for the issue-reporting part. Thanks.
