Layr is a full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript framework that dramatically simplifies full-stack development by letting frontend and backend share components through cross-layer inheritance, eliminating the need to write APIs. It provides an ORM with MongoDB storage, routing, role-based authorization, and React integration.

Use cases

• build full-stack apps without writing REST or GraphQL APIs
• share business logic between frontend and backend via cross-layer inheritance
• persist JavaScript components to MongoDB with an ORM
• add role-based authorization to a full-stack app
• build React apps with integrated backend routing

When to choose

• you want a JavaScript/TypeScript full-stack framework that removes API boilerplate
• your stack is React on the frontend with MongoDB storage
• you like component-oriented models with cross-layer inheritance

When to avoid

• you need PostgreSQL, MySQL, or transactions (not yet supported)
• you need realtime updates or automatic migrations (still on the roadmap)
• you prefer a framework with a large community and ecosystem
