Overview
Wasp is a Rails-like framework for React, Node.js (Express) and Prisma. You describe routes, pages, auth, queries and actions in a main.wasp.ts spec, and the compiler generates the front end, back end and deployment code. It includes auth, client-server RPC, jobs and email sending, and offers official plugins for AI coding agents.
Who it is for: Developers building full-stack React and Node.js apps who want less boilerplate
Strengths
- Declarative spec covers routes, auth, queries and actions in one file
- Built-in auth, RPC, jobs and email sending
- Generated code is viewable in .wasp/ and deployable to any provider
- Official agent plugins for Cursor, Claude Code and similar tools
Weaknesses
- Supports only React, Express and Prisma; other stacks are future plans
- Declared beta; changes between versions are expected
- Adds a spec layer on top of the stack that you must learn
- Not an AI starter itself; no LLM integration described in the README
What it needs
- TypeScript
- Needs Node.js, Prisma
