ElvelA familiar shape, on Bun

Twenty-seven packages, an Elysia core, and no facades — because TypeScript erases the types that facades depend on.

One command, no ejecting
bun create elvel writes an application that is yours — controllers you can read, pages that are .tsx files, and a welcome screen you will replace.
A kit that installs only what it uses
--kit=none gets thirteen packages and ten config files; --kit=jsx gets twenty and seventeen. A feature you do not use is not in your node_modules.
Typed all the way through
Controllers are Elysia instances, so the request context stays inferred inside handlers. The container resolves by token, which is what keeps it.
Tested against real servers
SQLite, Postgres and MySQL on every push — because a grammar can be plausible and still be rejected — and the whole suite on macOS and Windows besides.

Alpha, and what that means

1.0.0-alpha.13 is published with provenance, released by CI over OIDC with no token stored anywhere. The shape is settled; the surface still moves, and a release can rename something.

All twenty-nine packages have a page now — the eight that were missing one arrived over the alphas, which is why this paragraph used to say otherwise. A page still appears only when it has something true to say: fifty placeholders would make this site look finished and be useless.

Three things are worth knowing before you depend on this, and none of them is a missing feature:

The packages ship TypeScript source, so your tsc compiles their internals. That makes the types exact and it makes our problems yours — @elvel/mail once imported an untyped subpath and applications failed their own typecheck while ours passed. Building each package to a single file would end that class of bug; measured, it also made boot 35–40% slower, so it is not done.
Each alpha has fixed bugs in paths nothing had executed — a sign-out button that was a 419, a scaffolded application that failed its own typecheck, a diff that skipped the index it existed to add. That pattern has not stopped, which is the honest reason the version still says alpha.
Nothing here has run in production. The suite covers SQLite, Postgres and MySQL against real servers, both caches, the queue drivers, and a smoke run that drives a real application over a socket. None of that is a year of somebody else's traffic.
