Node.js MVC framework [closed]

Answer 1

Geddy was the original MVC framework for Nodejs, check out http://geddyjs.org if you're interested.

Answer 2

Express.js seems to very popular to use as a general framework. Combined with socketio.js and underscore.js these are very popular libraries but they are not MVC.

For MVC I've only used backbone.js / spine.js and can't give any recommendation for the others. I don't think there is a framework with a dominating popularity going yet because node.js doesn't have much use in production.

There are statistics for popular downloads with npm somewhere. See if you can find them.

Answer 3

Another great MVC framework that is up and coming is Sails.JS. It is inspired by ruby on rails and has features such as socket support, Restful API and more.

Answer 4

Try RailwayJS. CompoundJS

RailwayJS seems to have been killed and replaced with CompoundJS.

There's a guide for anyone that started with Railway and wants to migrate to Compound.

Answer 5

Just came across a new one called Derby which looks like it has a lot of promise. Its main benefit seems to be that it cuts down on a lot of the "glue code" (as they put it) that we often write when trying to use rails and backbone, or django and backbone together. The documentation seems pretty decent for a node framework as well.
