Nodal
Just the API
Nodal is the MC in MVC. Since Nodal focuses exclusively on getting your scalable data layer live, it's easy to try it out on a small API service in an existing project.
Battle Tested Design
Nodal transparently implements battle-tested server-side design patterns and abstractions from Rails and Django and comes with out-of-the-box Postgres integration, making smart decisions from day one to avoid node.js decision fatigue.
Scalable Foundation
Nodal implements stateless architecture, encouraging scalable distributed services by design, instead of afterthought.
A Simple User API
Nodal APIs are built with smart, transparent and modular generators generators. The /users API endpoint behind this React component was set up with 3 commands: nodal g:model --user, nodal g:controller --for User nodal poly:deploy. Every visitor to Nodal gets their very own user account!

A Live Scalable API Example
Let's use React's examples, and build a scalable API backend for them and run it live on this page.
A Component Using External Plugins
React is flexible and provides hooks that allow you to interface with other libraries and frameworks. This example uses marked, an external Markdown library, to convert the textarea's value in real-time.
