What's next

Preá is pre-alpha. The core is in place: preás, components, configuration, the database layer, the CLI and these docs. These are the next steps, roughly in order. There are no dates; each lands when it is solid.

Testing tools

Testing an app should be as easy as writing it:

• a test database for each test, so tests can run in parallel;
• replacing any component with a fake in a single line;
• helpers for requests and replies, without decoding JSON by hand;
• a generated test for every new preá.

Security

A complete, safe-by-default security layer, configured from the settings:

• a ready-made authentication middleware;
• revocable sessions, refresh tokens and roles;
• rules for ownership: "only the owner of this list can change it".

Persistence

A new persistence layer with more databases, a query language for your models (PPRQL), specifications and pagination.

Validation

A validation layer of its own, with clear messages, that also works outside HTTP: in services, in configuration blocks and in background jobs.
