Key Features

According to the vendor, Redwood.js offers the following key features:

React: Redwood.js utilizes React as its web frontend rendering engine, providing developers with access to extensive learning resources, design systems, and a thriving community.

GraphQL: Redwood.js is built on a GraphQL API foundation, enabling seamless communication between client apps and the backend. This allows developers to work efficiently in a multi-client environment and retrieve data from the server effortlessly.

Prisma: Redwood.js simplifies database interaction with the widely adopted Prisma ORM. Developers can prioritize their business logic while Prisma handles the intricacies of database operations.

TypeScript: Redwood.js provides optional TypeScript support, empowering developers to write type-safe code and leverage advanced tooling and code completion.

Jest: Redwood.js enhances Jest, a popular testing framework, with "scenarios" that simplify test environment setup and offer GraphQL mocking capabilities for efficient data flow testing.

Storybook: Redwood.js integrates seamlessly with Storybook, enabling developers to design and verify components in isolation. This streamlines the component development process and facilitates the creation of a comprehensive design reference.

Auth & Security: Redwood.js offers robust authentication and security features, allowing developers to secure both the frontend and backend through self-hosted authentication or integration with third-party providers. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and validations ensure secure access to resources.

Data & Transport: With Redwood.js, developers can leverage GraphQL as their API, empowering them to build applications for various clients, including browsers and native mobile apps. Directives and services facilitate data transformation and enable efficient organization and reuse of business logic.

Deploy: Redwood.js provides flexible deployment options, allowing developers to deploy their apps to serverless hosts like Netlify and Vercel, containerize their applications, or deploy to traditional infrastructure.

One API to rule them all: Redwood.js promotes the concept of a single GraphQL backend server that serves as the sole backend needed for an application, simplifying development and maintenance.
