🐍 Kronix

The Architecturally Hardened Web Framework for Dart.

Kronix is a high-performance, batteries-included web framework for the Dart ecosystem. It is designed for developers who demand speed, type-safety, and architectural integrity without the boilerplate of traditional enterprise frameworks.

🚀 Key Features

• ⚡ Radix-Trie Router: O(log n) path matching with pre-compiled middleware chains.
• 🏗️ Sophisticated DI: Hierarchical Dependency Injection with automatic request scoping.
• 📦 Advanced ORM: Active Record pattern with typed relationships (belongsTo, hasMany).
• 🛡️ HARDENED Security: Built-in backpressure control, body size limits, and JWT/Session support.
• 🚄 Unified Caching: Elegant Cache facade supporting Memory and Redis drivers.
• ⚙️ CLI Power: Rapid scaffolding of controllers, models (with migrations), and services.
• 🚥 Real-time: First-class WebSocket support with Hubs, Rooms, and Middleware protection.

🏁 Quick Start

1. Installation

Add Kronix to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  kronix: ^0.2.0

2. A Simple Server

import 'package:kronix/kronix.dart';

void main() async {
  final app = App();

  // Basic Route
  app.get('/welcome', (ctx) async {
    return Response.json({'message': 'Welcome to Kronix!'});
  });

  // Typed Validation
  app.post('/register', (ctx) async {
    final data = await ctx.validate({
      'email': 'required|email',
      'password': 'required|min:8',
    });
    
    return Response.json({'status': 'registered', 'user': data['email']});
  });

  await app.listen(port: 3000);
}

🛠️ Deep Dive

📦 The ORM (Model)

Define your relationships easily:

class User extends Model {
  @override String get tableName => 'users';
  
  // Relationship: User has many Posts
  Future<List<Post>> posts() => hasMany<Post>(Post.fromRow);
}

🚄 Caching

Switch from Memory to Redis with one line in .env:

// Fetch from cache or compute and store for 1 hour
final stats = await Cache.remember('users.count', Duration(hours: 1), () async {
  return await User.query().count();
});

🚥 Middleware

Compose logic across routes globally or in groups:

app.group('/api/v1', middleware: [AuthMiddleware()], callback: (router) {
  router.get('/profile', ProfileController().show);
});

💎 Why Kronix?

In a world of micro-frameworks, Kronix provides the structure needed for long-term maintainability. It is not just a router; it's a foundation that handles the "boring" parts of web development—security, concurrency, and data integrity—so you can focus on building your product.

• Drained Gracefully: Handles SIGINT/SIGTERM to allow active requests to finish.
• Isolated Tests: Built-in MockHttpRequest and container-swapping for 100% test coverage.
• Type Casting: Automatic conversion of query/body parameters to int, double, or bool.
