What is Amala?

Amala is a decorator-based API framework for KoaJS v2+ and Typescript. Amala is fast, light, self-documenting and Docker-ready; Perfect for microservices.

  • Define your REST API endpoints using ES8 classes and decorators.
  • Inject arguments into your endpoint handlers, effectively turning your controller endpoints into standalone, testable service endpoints.
  • Clean, light and FAST endpoints. Powered by Koa.
  • No further magic past decorators. Full access to underlying Koa app.
  • Project builder comes with fully configured Docker and Docker-compose settings for quick containerization.
  • In-built OpenAPI spec exporter and Swagger UI!

This leads to clean, self-documenting API endpoints and makes it so you can re-use those service endpoints elsewhere. It also makes your endpoint endpoints easier to test.

OpenAPI export feature is functional and highly configurable. When enabled, you can see your API JSON spec 'GET /api/docs' and the Swagger UI at '/api/swagger' by default.
