Creating a Full Stack Framework

In Chapter 6, we learned a practical example of building a simple JavaScript testing framework. In this chapter, we will continue this practical approach, further diving into the development of frameworks.

The next goal is to develop a full stack framework that will enable developers to build large and small web applications. This chapter will start off by developing the backend parts of such a framework, focusing on the server-side components and integrating essential developer tooling. These backend components, once established, will help us support the frontend elements of the framework we will create in Chapter 8. Developing the backend feature set in this chapter will help us do the following:

• Define the technical architecture and goals of our new full stack framework. This is similar to the Chapter 6 exercise, but now we will switch the context and focus more on the technical challenges of the backend server functionality.
• Learn...
