# Daton Monorepo
Daton is my work-in-progress application framework for Deno. It's written from scratch, using native Deno libraries.

This library is a reincarnation of my [Flitter framework](https://flitter.garrettmills.dev) for Node.js.

This library is organized as a mono-repo, and contains the following components:

- DI
    - Daton ships with its own type-metadata based inversion of control container, which is used to manage services and the application lifecycle.
    - It does this by injecting dependencies into class constructors using type-hints added to the metadata by TypeScript at compile time
- Library
    - The Daton library contains common elements used in Daton, such as:
        - Collections and AsyncCollections
        - Classes for interacting with HTTP requests, responses, and cookies
        - Logic for the application and lifecycle units
        - Units for controllers, middleware, route definitions, &c.
- ORM
    - Daton also uses its own PostgreSQL ORM, which is ES6 native, and support a rich feature set, including:
        - Class-based models
        - Rich, fluent query builders
        - Model relations, and nested relations, with eager loading
        - Query result iterators, and custom query operators
- The work-in-progress app template
