No, there isn't, nor should there be.

Rails and Django are both heavyweight, all-in-one frameworks, full of canned magic and optimized for easy OOB experience at the cost of inflicting undue difficulty when it comes to complex tasks, i.e., useful ones.

If there's anything like that in the Javascript world, it hasn't achieved prominence, nor will it; modern Javascript development is much more concerned with, and much better suited to, lightweight microservices tied together by smart client code. Working effectively with such architectures requires a greater initial investment than does becoming au courant with Rails or like ilk, but the return in scalability and maintainability is very much worthwhile.
