Overview:

The NestJs Application Boilerplate is a ready-to-use application template for NestJS v9.x. It provides a Dockerized environment along with pre-configured containers for NestJs, Redis, and various databases like MySQL, Postgresql, and MongoDB. The main objectives of this boilerplate are to provide a healthy start for new applications, easy maintenance, and help in learning NestJs.

Features:

• Dockerized environment for easy setup and deployment
• Pre-configured containers for NestJs, Redis, and multiple databases
• Supports databases like MySQL, Postgresql, and MongoDB
• Provides a list of helpful scripts to aid the development process

Starting the application:

To start the application, use the following script:

make up

This will bring up all the Docker containers and make the application accessible at the provided URL.

Shutting down the application:

If you want to stop the application, use the following script:

make down

This will bring down all the Docker containers.

Database options:

The boilerplate supports MySQL, Postgresql, and MongoDB as database options. By default, they are commented out in the docker-compose file. If you want to use any of these databases, uncomment the related code in the docker-compose file before starting up the application. After that, you will need to develop code to utilize the selected database, preferably using an ORM (Object Relational Mapper).
