A starter kit for Node.js project written with TypeScript.

Overview

The Typescript in Node.js Starter Kit offers a robust foundation for developers looking to build scalable and maintainable Node.js applications. By incorporating TypeScript, this starter kit addresses the common challenges associated with type checking in JavaScript, particularly for larger projects. It not only promotes best practices but also provides a well-organized boilerplate that can grow alongside your application's business requirements.

If you're venturing into the realm of TypeScript, especially within the context of Node.js, this starter kit simplifies the setup process and ensures you're following a structured approach to coding. With clear instructions and a thoughtfully crafted project structure, developers can focus on building features rather than wrestling with configuration issues.

Features

  • Type Safety: Utilizes TypeScript to enforce type checking, reducing runtime errors and improving code reliability.

  • Modular Architecture: Organizes code into discrete modules, enhancing maintainability and promoting a clean separation of concerns.

  • Database Support: Offers integration with multiple database options including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and an in-memory database for testing purposes.

  • Error Handling: Implements application-specific error codes, allowing for better debugging and more informative error messages.

  • Static Code Analysis: Supports tools for static code analysis, ensuring code quality and adherence to best practices.

  • Comprehensive Documentation: Provides clear guidelines for setup, dependencies, and project structure to facilitate a smooth development process.

  • API Examples: Includes examples of API usage that help illustrate how to effectively interact with the backend.

  • In-memory Database: Features a simple JSON virtual database for easy testing and development without the need for additional database setup.

express
Express

Express.js is a simple Node.js framework for single, multi-page, and hybrid web applications.

eslint
Eslint

ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.

Typescript

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
