Trails.js Web Application Framework

Trails.js is a modern, community-driven web application framework for Node.js, currently at version 3.2.2. It emphasizes a convention-based, API-driven design philosophy, inspired by frameworks like Ruby on Rails and Grails. Trails.js accelerates development through scaffolding provided by Yeoman and extends its capabilities via 'Trailpacks'—modular extensions that integrate existing ecosystem tools like Hapi, Express, Waterline, or Knex. The framework supports microservices architectures and is designed to work across Windows, Mac, and Linux, requiring Node.js 7.6.0 or newer. Its release cadence is stable, with major version updates occurring less frequently, focusing on stability and core enhancements.
