A Dart Backend API Framework with Postgres inspired by NestJS
Live demo at https://orbit-dart-server.herokuapp.com/
A simple usage example:
import 'package:orbit/orbit.dart';
void main() async {
final remoteDB = Platform.environment['DATABASE_URL'];
final localDB = 'postgres://username:password@host:8080/databaseName';
await Orbit.initialize(databaseUrl: remoteDB ?? localDB);
final app = await Orbit.create(
controllers: [
UserController(),
],
);
app.port = int.parse(Platform.environment['PORT'] ?? '3000');
app.address = InternetAddress.anyIPv4.address;
app.router.get('/', (_) {
return Response.ok(dataResponse({'message': 'Welcome to Orbit'}));
});
final server = await app.serve();
print('Serving at http://${server.address.host}:${server.port}');
}
