The Joyful Movement

Flow like water. Strong as water. Clear like water. Nothing stops water — it finds a way by having obstacles.

📖 Read the story behind The Joyful Movement

📖 Reflection of heart

A new way to build software — from repetitive to remarkable.

🌱 What is The Joyful Movement?

A developer philosophy and design engine that transforms the way we build applications:

• ✅ Schema-first, not code-first
• 🔁 Automation over repetition
• 🧩 Declarative design over imperative chaos
• 💖 Human-centered experiences

✨ Why It Exists

We’re tired of:

• Writing the same validation logic everywhere
• Copy-pasting API calls and retries
• Smart frontends forced to handle business rules
• Systems that don’t evolve — they decay

🚀 What It Enables

• Define once: Validation, Retry, Integration, and Transformation
• Generate clean, resilient, composable APIs
• Frontend becomes sexy — not smart
• Developers focus on experience, not glue code

🧠 The Core Philosophy

Data > Objects
Design > Rebuild
Composability > Duplication
Resilience > Rewrites
Joy > Delivery pressure

🔧 Examples (Before → After)

1. Validation + Transformation

// ❌ Before
if (!input.name || input.name.length < 3) throw new Error("Name too short");
const fullName = `${input.name} ${input.lastName}`.trim();

// ✅ After
{
  "name": { "type": "string", "minLength": 3 },
  "transform": {
    "fullName": "concat(name, ' ', lastName)"
  }
}

2. Retry + Failover

// ❌ Before
let retries = 3; while (retries--) try { ... } catch(e) { ... }

// ✅ After
{
  "integration": {
    "url": "https://service-a.com/data",
    "retry": 3,
    "fallback": "https://backup-service.com/data"
  }
}

3. All Together

{
  "schema": {
    "name": { "type": "string", "minLength": 3 },
    "email": { "type": "string", "format": "email" }
  },
  "integration": {
    "method": "POST",
    "url": "https://api.company.com/create",
    "body": ["name", "email"],
    "retry": 2,
    "fallback": "https://api.backup.com/create"
  },
  "transform": {
    "displayName": "toTitleCase(name)",
    "contact": "email"
  }
}
