Express Boilerplate Ts
Boilerplate for NodeJS Express Projects written in Typescript The purpose of this template repository is to fast track APIs development and reach to production ASAP. At most places except TSOA, there is very less use of external dependency injection or similar libraries to demonstrate how same ...
Overview
The NodeJS Express Boilerplate is a powerful starting point for developers looking to build robust APIs using Node.js and TypeScript. This template is engineered to accelerate the development process and get applications to production swiftly. It emphasizes SOLID principles and loose coupling, making it an excellent choice for those who want greater control over dependency injection without the overhead of external libraries. Moreover, it incorporates a variety of design patterns which enhance its flexibility and maintainability.
With features ranging from MongoDB integration to automatic Swagger generation, this boilerplate is packed with utility, ensuring developers can focus on writing effective and clean code. It’s tailored for both novice and experienced developers seeking to streamline their API development process while adhering to best practices.

- Mongo Integration: Comes with an extensible database interface that makes it easy to switch between MongoDB and other databases.
- Redis Queue Support: Features a Redis Persistent Queue with an interface designed for easy integration of additional queue systems.
- Caching Solutions: Provides support for NodeCache and RedisCache to boost performance, with interfaces that allow for other caching implementations.
- Worker Pool for Intensive Tasks: Efficiently handles compute-intensive tasks with worker threads for improved application performance.
- Automatic Swagger Generation: Generates documentation seamlessly from the integrated components, enhancing your API's usability.
- Code Quality Tools: Configured with ESLint and Prettier for maintaining code standards, alongside Husky for pre-commit hooks to enforce quality checks.
- Comprehensive Project Structure: Offers a well-defined project structure, making it easy to navigate and extend, with folders for controllers, services, and utilities, enabling quick scaling and modifications.
- Express
Express.js is a simple Node.js framework for single, multi-page, and hybrid web applications.
- 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.
