This 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.
