TypeScript prototyping for a Solid server
This repository contains proposed interfaces, components, and tests to inform the design of a Solid server in TypeScript.
Its main goal is a strict and modular implementation of the Solid HTTP request handling flow. This flow was designed to ensure that every decision for every HTTP request is only made in one place.
This project translates those ideas into working program code. Crucially, the common logic shared by all HTTP operations in the LDP spec has been abstracted into one single code path. In contrast to existing LDP implementations, which often have individual HTTP methods as an abstraction, this architecture guarantees common behavior across all HTTP methods, and makes that behavior unit-testable.
A consequence is that the back-end interface is not focused on HTTP methods, but rather on the atomic operations that back-ends need to support.
