• WATCHER node.js for auto reload-files in developement mode .
• PM2 Production Process Manager for Node.js .
• Passport Simple, unobtrusive authentication for Node.js .
• Angular Experimental Bundle Generator ( Angular cli no longer allows the ejection of a webpack config)

Nodefony 7 adds the following features :

• React Experimental Bundle Generator ( Now an React Project can be merge into a Nodefony Bundle )
• Vue.js Experimental Bundle Generator ( Now an Vue.js Project can be merge into a Nodefony Bundle )
• Api swagger-ui ( Documentation Api with swagger and openapi AOS3)
• Api graphql ( Documentation Api with graphiql)

Evolution priorities for the next version will focus on robustness, unit testing, documentation and security.

You can follow Nodefony build with github actions at https://github.com/nodefony/nodefony/actions
