Getting started

Lanjit is a Laravel-inspired web framework built with native JavaScript ESM. It includes routing, middleware, controllers, views, validation, sessions, database access, and an Artisan-style CLI.

Requirements

Use Node.js 22.5.0 or newer. SQLite is the default database; MySQL is optional.

Create a project

Run the installer below, enter the project directory, and start the development server. The application is available at http://127.0.0.1:3333 by default.

Examples

node --version

npm create lanjit@latest my-app
cd my-app
npm run dev

npm install
cp .env.example .env
node artisan key:generate

npm run dev

node artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8080

node artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

export default function routes(Route) {
  Route.get('/hello/{name}', (request) => ({
    message: `Halo, ${request.params.name}!`,
  }));
}
