ℹ️ About

The main goal of this project is to provide a base template for the generation of a production-ready REST API made with Node.js, Express and Typescript. The idea is to avoid having to configure all the tools involved in a project every time it is started and thus be able to focus on the definition and implementation of the business logic.

📣 This is an opinionated template. The architecture of the code base and the configuration of the different tools used has been based on best practices and personal preferences.

🚀 Quick start

• Install dependencies:

  npm install
  # or
  make install
  

• Start database container:

  make start/db
  

• Start cache container:

  make start/cache
  

• Generate Prisma Client:

  npm run prisma:generate
  

• Start project in development mode:

  npm run dev
  

• Start project in production mode:

  npm run start
  

• Open the following URL to interact with the API using Swagger UI:

  http://localhost:5000/api/docs
  # Sample username and password: janedoe / 123456
  

📋 Features

• Built using Typescript
• Built using Express Framework: Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.
• Built using Prisma: Next-generation ORM for Node.js & TypeScript | PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite & MongoDB
• Built using Ts.ED: Ts.ED is a Node.js Framework on top of Express/Koa.js. Written in Typescript, it helps you build your server-side application easily and quickly. If you want to start a complete out-of-the-box project or fully customize it yourself, Ts.ED will guide you there!
• JWT authentication and role based authorization using custom middleware
• OpenAPI definition
• Fully configured logger with Pino
• Unit, Integration and E2E tests using Jest and Supertest
• Linting with ESLint
• Formatting with Prettier
• Spell check
• Git hooks with Husky and lint-staged
• Containerised using Docker and Docker Compose
• Path aliases support
• Commit messages must meet conventional commits format
• GitHub Actions
• Makefile as project entrypoint
• PostgreSQL as database
