Question 1

How to implement JWT authentication in DelphiMVCFramework?

Accepted Answer

Use the built-in JWT middleware by configuring TMVCJWTDefaults in your engine setup, and add attributes to controllers for token validation. The framework supports token blacklisting and custom claims for fine-grained authorization.

Question 2

DelphiMVCFramework vs DataSnap for REST APIs?

Accepted Answer

DelphiMVCFramework is more modern with RESTful compliance, built-in ORM, and real-time features, while DataSnap is older and may require more boilerplate code. DMVCFramework also has better security with TLS 1.3 and active community support.

Question 3

How to generate OpenAPI docs with DelphiMVCFramework?

Accepted Answer

Enable OpenAPI/Swagger documentation by adding the TMVCSwaggerMiddleware and annotating controllers with attributes; it auto-generates API specs from your code, available via a dedicated endpoint.

Question 4

What databases work with MVCActiveRecord ORM?

Accepted Answer

Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, SQLite, Firebird, InterBase, and Oracle through FireDAC drivers, with RQL querying for complex operations. Ensure you include the specific SQL generator unit in your project.

Question 5

How to deploy DelphiMVCFramework on Linux as a daemon?

Accepted Answer

Compile the application for Linux 64-bit and use systemd or init scripts for daemon management; the framework includes samples for Linux deployment, but you'll need to handle logging and monitoring separately.

Question 6

Is DelphiMVCFramework good for microservices?

Accepted Answer

It can build microservices due to its REST and JSON-RPC support, but its Delphi dependency and traditional deployment model may not suit cloud-native ecosystems compared to frameworks in Go or Node.js.

Question 7

How to handle file uploads in DelphiMVCFramework?

Accepted Answer

Use the TMVCStaticFilesMiddleware for serving static files and the TMVCFileUploadMiddleware for handling multipart uploads; configure max file sizes and storage paths in the middleware settings.
