# Mandarine.TS

Mandarine.TS is a framework that allows you to create applications. Mandarine.TS provides a range of built-in solutions such as Dependency Injection, Components, ORM and more. Under its umbrella, Mandarine.TS has 4 modules: *Core*, *Data*, *Security* and *MVC,* these modules will offer you the requirements to build a Mandarine-powered application. However, the most common module is *Mandarine MVC,* since it combines all the concepts from its different cores into one, in order to make the creation of complex web-applications (front-end & back-end) easy, reliable, and following design patterns & principles such as [SOLID](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOLID), making your application sustainable & readable across developers.

### Features

[Dependency Injection](https://mandarineframework.gitbook.io/mandarine-ts/mandarine-core/dependency-injection), [Components](https://mandarineframework.gitbook.io/mandarine-ts/mandarine-core/components/component), [Decorator-driven Router](https://mandarineframework.gitbook.io/mandarine-ts/mandarine-mvc/controllers/using-routes-and-http-handlers), [Middleware](https://mandarineframework.gitbook.io/mandarine-ts/mandarine-mvc/custom-middleware), [Sessions](https://mandarineframework.gitbook.io/mandarine-ts/mandarine-mvc/session-middleware), [Built-in ORM](https://mandarineframework.gitbook.io/mandarine-ts/mandarine-data/orm), [MQL](https://mandarineframework.gitbook.io/mandarine-ts/mandarine-data/mandarine-query-language) (Mandarine Query Language), [Template Engine](https://mandarineframework.gitbook.io/mandarine-ts/mandarine-mvc/template-engine)

### Deno & Mandarine

Mandarine runs on [Deno](https://deno.land/), a secure runtime for Javascript & Typescript. However, Mandarine is fully written in Typescript.

## Configuration

The use of *Deno* for running *Mandarine* makes configuration easy & approachable as you do not need any package management software.

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure you have installed *Deno* & your workspace is ready to be used.
{% endhint %}

In order to use Mandarine's technologies, you must import its dependency file in your typescript files.

```typescript
import { /* Your imports */ } from "https://deno.land/x/mandarinets/mod.ts";
```

The **mod.ts** file will provide you with access to all the modules integrated in Mandarine.TS, however, if you need to specify an specific import *or* an import has not been added to the *mod.ts* file*,* you can import it manually from the repository following the shown example. For example:

```typescript
/**
 * Importing manually to the root of the repository/logger/log.ts
*/
import { Log } from "https://deno.land/x/mandarinets/logger/log.ts"
```
