Aleph.js is an up-and-coming Rust powered framework. Using Aleph.js for webpage customization offers developers a flexible routing framework, SSR and SSG support, and tight security.

Aleph.js is an open-source JavaScript framework inspired by the popular framework Next.js. The framework is much newer than Next.js and is currently in its alpha phase.

The framework has a dedicated open-source community that fixes bugs. This article gives an overview of Aleph.js and a guide to its features.

Aleph.js overview

Aleph.js is built with security in mind, so it uses the JavaScript/TypeScript framework Deno for its runtime environment. Using Deno means that Aleph.js users have total control over what their programs can use, and must explicitly allow access, whether using files on the server or changing environment variables.

Developers don’t need to configure Aleph.js after installation because it is built for simplicity and does a lot of work behind the scenes. Instead of requiring a developer to use a third-party JavaScript bundler, Aleph.js handles importing with standard ES6 syntax that allows developers to place and remove JavaScript pieces at will.

This level of security and simplicity is possible because Deno is written in the Rust language, and those qualities then extend to Aleph.js. Rust was developed as a simple solution to common web development security problems, like unauthorized file access and cross-site scripting, so Aleph.js is well-protected against those issues.

At the time of writing, the Aleph.js creators explicitly state that the framework will work on the latest versions of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Opera. It may work on other browsers as well, but no other browsers have yet been verified by the Aleph.js creators. You should be cautious with other browsers until they are verified by the creators at a later date.

Aleph.js features

Aleph.js has many useful features that allow developers to customize their webpages and deploy them in dynamic ways. This flexibility makes Aleph.js useful to developers at any skill level or in any career trajectory.
