Node Clean Architecture
A production-ready Node.js template following Clean Architecture principles, designed for scalability and maintainability.
Overview
Node Clean Architecture is a comprehensive Node.js template that adheres to Clean Architecture principles, making it an excellent choice for developers looking to build scalable and maintainable applications. This template utilizes a modern technology stack that includes Fastify, Prisma, Zod, Vitest, Biome, and TypeScript, ensuring high performance and enhanced developer productivity. It addresses key challenges in application development such as security, logging, and testing, making it truly production-ready.
With a clear focus on maintainability and separation of concerns, this template sets the stage for a robust application structure. By organizing the project with strong architectural principles, it supports both current project needs and future scalability.
Features
-
Modern Stack: Leverages Fastify, Prisma, Zod, Vitest, Biome, and TypeScript for a sophisticated and efficient development environment.
-
High Performance: Built on Fastify, this template is designed for maximum throughput, making it suitable for high-load applications.
-
Type Safe: Utilizes strict TypeScript with runtime validation provided by Zod, reducing runtime errors and improving code quality.
-
Database Ready: Incorporates Prisma ORM, allowing for seamless database migrations and type-safe queries to enhance database interactions.
-
API Documentation: Automatically generates Swagger/OpenAPI documentation from route schemas, ensuring that your API is well documented and easy to use.
-
Production Ready: Features essential production-grade capabilities like structured logging, rate limiting, security headers, and health checks.
-
Test First: Emphasizes unit and integration testing, with isolated database schemas to ensure reliable and maintainable code quality.
-
Clean Architecture Principles: Organizes the code into distinct layers to enhance readability and maintainability, ensuring that different components can evolve independently without breaking the system.
- Prisma
Prisma is a server-side library that helps developers read and write data to the database in an intuitive, efficient and safe way.
- Fullstack
A fullstack boilerplate provides a starter application that includes both frontend and backend. It should include database, auth, payments, user roles and other backend services to build a fully featured saas or webapps.
- Templates & Themes
A template or theme refers to a pre-designed layout or structure that provides a basic framework for building a specific type of application or website. It typically includes good design, placeholder content and functional features, allowing developers to customize and fill in the details according to their specific needs.
- 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.
- Zod
Zod is a TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library. It allows you to define schemas that can validate data at runtime while providing excellent TypeScript inference, making it perfect for API validation, form validation, and type-safe data handling.
