I always thought ExpressJS was the equivalent on the NodeJS side, but looking at the docs now it appears nigh abandoned (jokes on them, I built like 3 pieces of software on top of it in the past year!)
- leodriesch 5y agoIt is more complete than abandoned. They said they would not introduce bigger changes to the library, since it is so wildly used. I think some of the original devs moved on to develop Koa.js.
- speedgoose 5y agoIt would be nice of them to release the v5 though. Native support of promises (and async callbacks) is still not released for example.
- crate_barre 5y agoThis is the closest answer to the OP’s original question. Express is the trusty hammer we reach for in the Node world. Had they kept evolving it into a more Rails-like/Django-like tool, then Node would have that robust framework. They opted to keep it like Flask/Bottle, and so Node sort of got stunted on that front based on that decision. Express only offered routing, middleware to plug-in things like Auth and templating. So yeah, we are very anemic in the Node world when it comes to anything that even resembles a Laravel.
