Fabrix is a strongly typed modern, community-driven web application framework for Node.js. It builds on the pedigree of Rails and Grails to accelerate development by adhering to a straightforward, convention-based, API-driven design philosophy.

Legacy

Fabrix would not have been possible without the substantial work done by the Trail.js team. While Fabrix maintains a different code base and system of best practices, none of this would have been possible without the contributions from their community.
