# Alado

> A fast, lightweight, zero-dependency Node.js HTTP framework with built-in routing, validation, authentication, file uploads, and automatic OpenAPI 3.0 documentation.

## Key facts

- Package: `alado` on npm, current version 3.2.3. Install with `npm install alado`. Requires Node.js >=18.0.0.
- TypeScript-first. Alado uses legacy TypeScript decorators, so the consuming project needs `"experimentalDecorators": true` in tsconfig.json.
- Everything is imported from `'alado'`: route decorators (`get`, `query`, `post`, `put`, `patch`, `del`, `head`), `defineRequest`, `defineResponse`, `withAuth`, `accessControl`, DTO property decorators (`validateProperty`, `documentProperty`, `transformProperty`, `fileUploadProperty`), the `validate` builder, and `initializeApplication`.
- `del` is the DELETE decorator. `query` is the HTTP QUERY method.
- Handlers receive a `Request` and return a plain `Response` object `{ statusCode, headers?, body? }`. There is no `res.send()`. `body` can be an object, a string or a readable stream.
- Request order: routing, body parsing (JSON, XML, multipart), `@withAuth`, `@accessControl`, DTO validation (request parts, then files), handler. A failed step returns its configured `{ statusCode, message }` and the handler does not run.
- DTOs are classes whose properties carry decorators; `@defineRequest({ headers, query, path, body, files, auth })` binds DTO classes to request parts.
- OpenAPI 3.0 and Swagger UI are generated from the same decorators when `serverOptions.openApiDoc.enable` is true.

## Getting Started

- [Introduction](docs/introduction.md): What Alado is and how it compares with Express, Fastify and NestJS feature by feature.
- [Installation](docs/installation.md): Install the alado package from npm.
- [Quick Start](docs/quick-start.md): A minimal decorator-based API: one controller with @post, @defineRequest and @defineResponse, started with initializeApplication.
- [Project Structure](docs/project-structure.md): A suggested folder layout for a decorator-based Alado project.

## Application

- [Application Setup](docs/application-setup.md): initializeApplication options: port, appId, logger, passing constructor options to controllers, and HTTPS via ssl.

## Controllers

- [HTTP Method Decorators](docs/http-methods.md): @get, @query, @post, @put, @patch, @del and @head route decorators and their HttpDecoratorOptions (appId, title, description, isHidden, tags).
- [@defineRequest](docs/define-request.md): @defineRequest declares and validates headers, query, path, body, files and auth using DTO classes.
- [@defineResponse](docs/define-response.md): @defineResponse documents status code, headers and body shape for the OpenAPI output.
- [@withAuth](docs/with-auth.md): @withAuth attaches a RequestAuthentication pipeline to a route; the result is available on req.auth.
- [@accessControl](docs/access-control-decorator.md): @accessCon
