Describe the module. Ship it this afternoon.

Serenity is the ASP.NET Core and TypeScript framework for line-of-business apps. You describe a table, its columns and its form in a few attributed classes. Serenity builds the grid, the edit dialog, the endpoint and the permission checks around them.

Serenity and the Serene template are free and open source under MIT. StartSharp adds premium modules, themes and support.

Three classes describe a whole module.

Serenity handles all the plumbing behind the scenes. This is the Orders module from the demo above. The row describes the table, and the list and the dialog read their fields from it. Each class maps to a screen your users get.

OrderRow.cs

The table

Fields, joins, lookups and who may read or change them. Validation and permission checks come from these attributes.

    [DisplayName("Order Date"), NotNull]
    public DateTime? OrderDate { … }
}

OrderColumns.cs

The list

Which columns show, their width, links and quick filters. Everything else about each field comes from OrderRow.
