Nest.js is more like Angular

• gremlinsinc 5y ago
  I think you're thinking of Next/Nuxt. I'm a laravel dev but have tried every framework under the sun cause I get bored. Next/Nuxt are basically react/vue SSR / Server Side Rendering or SPA frameworks... which seems more like Angular..no? Nest.js is a fullstack backend framework more like fastify or express and has guides on connecting databases, graphql, etc.... Personally, if I were going to go with node, I'd choose nest.js or feathers or express as they have the best ecosystems ... but none seem as mature as laravel, rails, or django.

    The last sentence in their philosophy section reads " The architecture is heavily inspired by Angular." https://docs.nestjs.com/#philosophy https://docs.nestjs.com/#philosophy

      Maybe they were inspired by the way it was built/laid out, but angular is more in the vein of react/vue. Nest.js is more like feathers, actix for rust, flask, lumen, etc... it's not as opinionated iirc last time I played with it... so there's not a specific way everything is organized like a rails or laravel project... if I were doing node it'd probably be nest, but w/ swoole/octane and knowing laravel inside/out I'm gonna lose time/productivity switching to anything else, so I stick w/ what I know.
