The fastest way to develop full-stack web apps with React & Node.js.

------

Wasp (**W**eb **A**pplication **Sp**ecification) is a Rails-like framework for React, Node.js, and Prisma. Build your app in a day and deploy it with a single CLI command! ### Why is Wasp awesome - 🚀 **Quick start**: Due to its expressiveness, you can create and deploy a production-ready web app from scratch with very few lines of concise, consistent, declarative code. - 😌 **No boilerplate**: By abstracting away complex full-stack features, there is less boilerplate code. That means less code to maintain and understand! It also means easier upgrades. - 🔓 **No lock-in**: You can deploy the Wasp app anywhere you like. There is no lock-in into specific providers; you have full control over the code (and can actually check it out in .wasp/ dir if you are interested ). ### Features 🔒 Full-stack Auth, 🖇️ RPC (Client <-> Server), 🚀 Simple Deployment, ⚙ ️Jobs, ✉️ Email Sending, 🛟 Full-stack Type Safety, ... ### Code example Simple Wasp config file in which you describe the high-level details of your web app: ```js // file: main.wasp app todoApp { title: "ToDo App", // visible in the browser tab wasp: { version: "^0.14.0" }, auth: { // full-stack auth out-of-the-box userEntity: User, methods: { email: {...} } } } route RootRoute { path: "/", to: MainPage } page MainPage { authRequired: true, // Limit access to logged-in users. component: import Main from "@client/Main.tsx" // Your React code. } query getTasks { fn: import { getTasks } from "@server/tasks.js", // Your Node.js code. entities: [Task] // Automatic cache invalidation. } // file: schema.prisma model Task { // Your Prisma data model. id Int @id @default(autoincrement()) description String isDone Boolean @default(false) } ``` The rest of the code you write in React / Node.js / Prisma and just reference it from the .wasp file. :arrow_forward: Check out [TodoApp example](/examples/tutorials/TodoApp) for the complete code example. :arrow_backward: ### How it works

Given a simple .wasp configuration file that describes the high-level details of your web app, and .js(x)/.css/..., source files with your unique logic, Wasp compiler generates the full source of your web app in the target stack: front-end, back-end and deployment. This unique approach is what makes Wasp "smart" and gives it its superpowers! For more information about Wasp, check [**docs**](https://wasp-lang.dev/docs). # Get started Run ``` curl -sSL https://get.wasp-lang.dev/installer.sh | sh ``` to install Wasp on OSX/Linux/WSL(Win). From there, just follow the instructions to run your first app in less than a minute! For more details, check out [the docs](https://wasp-lang.dev/docs). # Wasp AI / Mage Wasp comes with experimental AI code generator to help you kickstart your next Wasp project -> you can use it via `wasp new` in the CLI (choose "AI" option) if you can provide your OpenAI keys or you can do it via our [Mage web app](https://usemage.ai) in which case our OpenAI keys are used in the background. # This repository This is the main repo of the Wasp universe, containing core code (mostly `waspc` - Wasp compiler) and the supporting materials. # Project status Currently, Wasp is in beta, with most features flushed out and working well. However, there are still a lot of improvements and additions that we have in mind for the future, and we are working on them constantly, so you can expect a lot of changes and improvements in the future. While the idea is to support multiple web tech stacks in the future, right now, we are focusing on the specific stack: React + react-query, NodeJS + ExpressJS, and Prisma. # Contributing Any way you want to contribute is a good way :)! The best place to start is to check out [waspc/](waspc/), where you can find detailed steps for first-time contributors + technical details about the Wasp compiler. The core of Wasp is built in Haskell, but there are also a lot of non-Haskell parts of Wasp, so you will certainly be able to find something for you!
