Genie.jl is the backbone of the Genie Framework, which provides a streamlined and efficient workflow for developing modern web applications. It builds on Julia's strengths (high-level, high-performance, dynamic, JIT compiled), exposing a rich API and a powerful toolset for productive web development.

Genie Framework is composed of four main components:

• Genie.jl : the server backend, providing features for routing, templating, authentication, and much more.
• Stipple.jl : a package for building reactive UIs with a simple and powerful low-code API in pure Julia.
• Genie Builder : a VSCode plugin for building UIs visually in a drag-and-drop editor.
• SearchLight.jl : a complete ORM solution, enabling easy database integration without writing SQL queries.

To learn more about Genie, visit the documentation, and the app gallery.

🔐 Authentication: Easy to add database backed authentication for restricted area of a website.

julia> using Pkg
julia> Pkg.add("GenieAuthentication") # adding authentication plugin
julia> using GenieAuthentication
julia> GenieAuthentication.install(@__DIR__)

⏰ Tasks: Tasks allow you to perform various operations and hook them with crons jobs for automation

module S3DBTask
# ... hidden code
 """
 Downloads S3 files to local disk.
 Populate the database from CSV file
 """
 function runtask()
 mktempdir() do directory
 @info "Path of directory" directory
 # download record file
 download(RECORD_URL)
 # unzip file
 unzip(directory)
 # dump to database
 dbdump(directory)
 end
 end
# ... more hidden code
end

$ bin/runtask S3DBTask

📦 Plugin Ecosystem: Explore plugins built by the community such as GenieAuthentication, GenieAutoreload, GenieAuthorisation, and more

🗃️ ORM Support: Explore SearchLight a complete ORM solution for Genie, supporting Postgres, MySQL, SQLite and other adapters

function search(user_names, regions, startdate, enddate)
# ... hidden code
 where_filters = SQLWhereEntity[
 SQLWhereExpression("lower(user_name) IN ( $(repeat("?,", length(user_names))[1:end-1] ) )", user_names),
 SQLWhereExpression("date >= ? AND date <= ?", startdate, enddate)
 ]
 SearchLight.find(UserRecord, where_filters, order=["record.date"])
# ... more hidden code
end

• Database Migrations

module CreateTableRecord
import SearchLight.Migrations: create_table, column, primary_key, add_index, drop_table
function up()
 create_table(:record) do
 [
 primary_key()
 column(:user_uuid, :string, limit = 100)
 column(:user_name, :string, limit = 100)
 column(:status, :integer, limit = 4)
 column(:region, :string, limit = 20)
 column(:date_of_birth, :string, limit = 100)
 ]
 end
 add_index(:record, :user_uuid)
 add_index(:record, :user_name)
 add_index(:record, :region)
 add_index(:record, :date_of_birth)
end
function down()
 drop_table(:record)
end
end
