Expressjs Api
An example Node.js REST-API built with TypeScript & Express.js
Overview:
The expressjs-api repository is a Node.js REST-API built with TypeScript and Express. It can serve as a useful codebase for creating Node projects. The application features a detailed architecture explanation and includes various packages for functionalities such as access control list, caching, mailing, MySQL integration, and testing. Additionally, the repository provides a structured folder setup for organizing different components and services.
Features:
- ACL (access control list): Manage permissions for different roles within the application.
- Component-based architecture: Organize code into reusable components for easier maintenance and scalability.
- Caching (Redis): Implement caching using Redis for improved performance.
- DB seeding: Easily populate the database with dummy data for testing and development purposes.
- Mailing: Integration with nodemailer for sending emails from the application.
- MySQL: Database integration for storing and retrieving data efficiently.
- Testing: Includes setup for testing the application to ensure reliability and functionality.
- Express
Express.js is a simple Node.js framework for single, multi-page, and hybrid web applications.
- Gulp
Gulp.js is an old but popular site building tool that automates various repetitive development tasks in web development, such as compiling Sass, minifying JavaScript, and optimizing images.
- 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.
