A polished, production-ready backend framework in Dart with NNBD support.

About

Angel3 is a fork of the original Angel framework to support NNBD in Dart SDK 2.12.x and above. It is a full-stack Web framework in Dart that aims to streamline development by providing many common features out-of-the-box in a consistent manner. One of the main goal is to enable developers to build both frontend and backend in the same language, Dart. Angel3 framework is designed as a collection of plugins that enable developers to pick and choose the parts needed for their projects. A series of starter templates are also provided for quick start and trial run with Angel3 framework.

The availabe features in Angel3 are:

  • Static File Handling
  • Basic Authentication
  • PostgreSQL ORM
  • GraphQL
  • And much more...

See all the available packages for more information.
