Serenity

Serenity is an ASP.NET Core / TypeScript application platform that is built on open-source technologies.

It aims to make development easier while reducing maintenance costs by avoiding boilerplate code, reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks, and applying the best software design practices.

Who/What This Platform Is For

Serenity is best suited to line-of-business (LOB) applications which can be described as programs that contain integrated capabilities and tie into databases, generally with many forms and listing/reporting pages.

It is also a good fit for administrative interfaces of public-facing websites.

Serenity handles most of the internal plumbing for cross-cutting concerns of such applications, including data manipulation, querying, filtering, services, caching, localization, navigation, validation, user access control, and declarative UI.

Some of the Out-of-the-Box Features

• A modular, service-based web application model
• A code generator (Sergen) to produce initial services/user interface code for an SQL table
• Two-way transformations between C#/TypeScript code that provides build-time error checking and intelli-sense support
• Attribute-based declarative user interfaces implemented via a widget system
• Seamless data-binding through form definitions (form ↔ entity ↔ service).
• Local/distributed caching and invalidation
• Simple, data-driven reporting, Excel export
• Script bundling, minification, and content versioning (no more F5 / clear browser cache)
• Fluent SQL Builders
• Micro ORM and Dapper integration
• Customizable handlers for REST-like services that work by reusing information in entity classes and do automatic validation. Attribute-based navigation menu
• UI / Data Localization
• Audit logging
