cloesce (alpha, v0.1.0)

Alpha Note: Cloesce is under active development, expanding its feature set as it pushes toward full Cloudflare support across any language. In this alpha, breaking changes can occur between releases.

Cloesce converts class definitions into a full stack Cloudflare application.

Inspired by

• Entity Framework
• NestJS
• ASP.NET
• Swagger Codegen
• gRPC
• and Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Cloesce is not just an ORM, migration engine, web framework, runtime validation library, IaC tool, or API Generator. It is all of these things and more, wrapped in a clean paradigm that makes building Cloudflare applications a breeze.

@Model(["GET", "SAVE", "LIST"])
class User {
    id: Integer;
    name: String;
    posts: Post[];

    @KV("user/settings/{id}", namespace)
    settings: KValue<unknown>;

    @R2("user/avatars/{id}.png", bucket)
    avatar: R2Object;

    @POST
    async hello(): User {
        // D1, KV, and R2 all hydrated here!
        return this;
    }
}

Required:

• Rust (with wasm32-unknown-unknown and wasm32-wasip1 targets)
• Node.js and npm

Optional (but recommended):

• binaryen (for WASM optimization) - brew install binaryen
• pandoc (for documentation) - brew install pandoc
• mdbook (for documentation) - cargo install mdbook

Run make check-deps to verify your setup.

Build Commands

All relevant commands can be found in the Makefile in the project root. Run make all to build, format and test all packages.
