+## What is Vulkano?
 
+Vulkano is a lightweight MVC framework for building web applications and APIs with Node.js. It wires together Express, MongoDB (Mongoose), Socket.io, i18n, JWT, file uploads, cron jobs, and more — so you spend time writing features, not boilerplate.

-## Install
+## Requirements
 
-### System
+- **Node.js** `^22`
+- **MongoDB** (optional — only needed if you use models)
+- **Redis** (optional — only needed for Socket.io Redis adapter or sessions)
 
-- Unix
-- Node.js v20+
+---
 
-### Packages
+## Installation
 
 ```bash
-$ npm install @vulkano/core
+npm install @vulkano/core
 ```
 
-## Your App Structure
-
-- `public/` - HTTP Public folder
-- `vulkano/` - Vulkano App (config, controllers, models, views)
-- `app.js` - Server entry point
+---
 
-## Your Server entry point
+## Quick Start
 
-```bash
-/**
- * app.js
- *
- * To start the server, run: ⁠ node app.js ⁠.
- *
- * For example:
- *   => ⁠ npm run start ⁠
- *   => ⁠ node app.js ⁠
- */
+### 1. Entry point — `app.js`
 
+```js
 const vulkano = require('@vulkano/core');
+vulkano();
+```
+
+### 2. Project structure

+
+## Routing
+
+Vulkano resolves routes **by convention** — no route file required for standard CRUD.
+
+### Convention-based (automatic)
+
+| HTTP method | URL              | Resolves to                         |
+|-------------|------------------|-------------------------------------|
+| `GET`       | `/user`          | `UserController.get`                |
+| `POST`      | `/user`          | `UserController.post`               |
+| `PUT`       | `/user/42`       | `UserController['put :id']`         |
+| `PATCH`     | `/user/42`       | `UserController['patch :id']`       |
+| `DELETE`    | `/user/42`       | `UserController['delete :id']`      |
+| `POST`      | `/user/save`     | `UserController['post save']`       |
+| `GET`       | `/user/42/info`  | `UserController['get :id/info']`    |
+
+### Controller example
+
+```js
+// vulkano/controllers/UserController.js
+module.exports = {
+
+  get(req, res) {
+    res.vsr(Promise.resolve({ users: [] }));
+  },
+
+  'get :id': function (req, res) {
+    res.vsr(Promise.resolve({ id: req.params.id }));
+  },
+
+  'post save': function (req, res) {
+    res.vsr(Promise.resolve({ saved: true }));
+  }
+
+};
+```
+
+### Explicit routes — `config/routes.js`
+
+```js
+module.exports = [
+  { method: 'GET',  path: '/health', controller: 'StatusController', action: 'ping' },
+  { method: 'POST', path: '/auth/login', controller: 'AuthController', action: 'login' },
+];
+```
+
+You can also register routes with inline handlers or using `app.vulkano.get/post/…`.
+
+---
+
+## Responses — `res.vsr()`
+
+Every controller action uses `res.vsr(promise)`. It wraps the resolved value in a standard envelope:
+
+```json
+{ "success": true, "statusCode": 200, "data": { … } }
+```
+
+Errors are handled automatically:
+
+```js
+// Custom error with status code
+res.vsr(VSError.reject('Not allowed', 403));
+
+// 404
+res.vsr(VSError.notFound('User'));
+
+// Plain rejection → 500
+res.vsr(Promise.reject(new Error('Something went wrong')));
+```
+
+---
+
+## Scaffold — zero-code REST API
+
+Point a controller at a model and get a full REST API for free:
+
+```js
+// vulkano/controllers/api/ProductController.js
+module.exports = {
+  scaffold: 'Product',           // Mongoose model name
+  allowedMethods: ['get', 'post', 'put', 'patch', 'delete']
+};
+```
+
+This automatically exposes:
+
+| Method   | Path               | Action           |
+|----------|--------------------|------------------|
+| `GET`    | `/api/product`     | List (paginated) |
+| `GET`    | `/api/product/:id` | Get by ID        |
+| `POST`   | `/api/product`     | Create           |
+| `PUT`    | `/api/product/:id` | Replace          |
+| `PATCH`  | `/api/product/:id` | Partial update   |
+| `DELETE` | `/api/product/:id` | Soft-delete      |
+
+Query string params supported on list: `page`, `per_page`, `sort`, `search`, `fields`.
+
+---
+
+## Models
 
-vulkano(); ⁠
+Models live in `vulkano/models/` and are auto-loaded as globals (e.g., `Product`).
+
+```js
+// vulkano/models/Product.js
+module.exports = {
+  attributes: {
+    name:  { type: String, required: true },
+    price: { type: Number, default: 0 },
+    tags:  { type: [String] }
+  },
+
+  // Lifecycle hooks
+  beforeSave(next) {
+    this.updatedAt = new Date();
+    next();
+  }
+};
+```
+
+Every model automatically gets `active`, `createdAt`, and `updatedAt` fields.
+Models use [`mongoose-paginate-v2`](https://github.com/aravindnc/mongoose-paginate-v2) for pagination.
+
+---
+
+## Built-in Global Libs
+
+All files in `vulkano/services/` are auto-loaded as globals. The framework also exposes:
+
+| Global      | Description                                                     |
+|-------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `VSError`   | Structured error factory (`reject`, `notFound`, `badRequest`)   |
+| `Jwt`       | Sign / verify JWT tokens                                        |
+| `Paginate`  | Query serialization and pagination helpers                      |
+| `Merge`     | Deep-merge utility (deepmerge-compatible, full option support)  |
+| `Encrypter` | Hash and compare passwords (bcrypt-based)                       |
+| `Filter`    | Input sanitization helpers                                      |
+| `Crontab`   | Schedule recurring jobs with cron expressions                   |
+| `ApiClient` | HTTP client for calling external APIs (native fetch + undici)   |
+| `Download`  | File download helper                                            |
+| `i18n`      | Internationalization via i18next                                |
+| `mongoose`  | Mongoose instance                                               |
+
+---
+
+## File Uploads
+
+Vulkano uses [Multer](https://github.com/expressjs/multer) v2. Files are available on `req.files` after a `multipart/form-data` POST:
+
+```js
+'post upload': function (req, res) {
+  const files = (req.files || []).map((f) => ({
+    fieldname:    f.fieldname,
+    originalname: f.originalname,
+    mimetype:     f.mimetype,
+    size:         f.size
+  }));
+  res.vsr(Promise.resolve({ uploaded: files.length, files }));
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## JWT Authentication
+
+Configure in `vulkano/config/express/jwt.js`:
+
+```js
+module.exports = {
+  secret: process.env.JWT_SECRET,
+  unless: ['/auth/login', '/health']   // Public paths (no token required)
+};
+```
+
+Sign a token anywhere in your app:
+
+```js
+const token = Jwt.encode({ userId: user._id });
+```
+
+---
+
+## Cron Jobs
+
+```js
+// vulkano/services/Jobs.js
+module.exports = {
+  init() {
+    Crontab.add('cleanup', '0 3 * * *', async () => {
+      await Report.deleteMany({ active: false });
+    });
+  }
+};
 ```
 
+---
+
+## i18n
+
+Translation files go in `vulkano/config/locales/`. Use `i18n.t('key')` anywhere in your app.
+
+---
+
+## Socket.io
+
+Enabled via `vulkano/config/settings.js`. Adapters for MongoDB and Redis are included out of the box.
+
+---
+
+## Configuration — `vulkano/config/settings.js`
+
+```js
+module.exports = {
+
+  // PORT to listen on
+  port: process.env.PORT || 3000,
+
+  // Salt for password
+  salt: process.env.SALT_KEY || '',
+
+  // Database configuration
+  database: {
+
+    // MONGO_URI connection
+    connection: process.env.MONGO_URI,
+
+    // Settings before to connect
+    settings: {
+      strictQuery: false,
+      debug: false
+    },
+
+    // Additional config to mongoose
+    config: {
+      useNewUrlParser: true,
+      useUnifiedTopology: true,
+      // family: 4 // 4 (IPv4), 6 (IPv6), or null (default: OS family)
+      // useFindAndModify: false,
+      // useCreateIndex: true
+    }
+
+  }
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## Running Tests
+
+```bash
+npm test              # all suites
+npm run test:watch    # watch mode
+npm run test:coverage # with coverage report
+```
+
+> Tests require Node.js 22. Use `nvm use 22` if needed.
