Vulcan.js: Building the “Rails for JavaScript”
summary
Vulcan.js claims to be a practical “Rails for JavaScript”: it builds on Meteor while integrating Apollo and React and generates GraphQL schemas and resolvers from JavaScript models, producing a default CRUD API plus computed (virtual) fields for derived data. The framework also auto-generates React forms and data tables with loading sorting and filtering handled, and it’s used in production for an Airbnb-like listings app, reducing boilerplate and keeping client and server schema in sync.
