Overview

Open Game Backend is built from the ground up to enable as many game developers as possible to write backend code & modify existing modules.

​

Components

Modules have access to the following core components:

• Scripts Scripts are used to write TypeScript & Deno code that runs on the backend. Request & response types are automatically validated.
• Database Modules can write database schemas, query data from scripts with type safety, and automatically create + migrate databases.
• User-Provided Config Modules can allow projects to pass configuration options to the module.
• Errors Modules specify the types of errors that can occur in their scripts.
