Framework architecture

The following diagram describes architecture of Lunatic (click on the image to open fullscreen):

Architecture

There are several logical blocks, including:

  • Framework core — base classes, functions, and methods that interact with a platform layer API and provides an abstraction for it.
  • Built-in middleware functions — application layer that hooks into request processing and expand framework capabilities.
  • Utilities — helper functions that are used across the framework codebase.

Application layer interacts with the framework core via exposed classes (LunaticServer and Router). It can also use built-in middlewares or provide its own.

Unlike some frameworks (such as Nest.js), Lunatic does not impose an architecture on the application layer. It’s up to the end developer how to implement certain use cases and which architectural approaches to use.
