Nodejs based api boilerplate for large scale projects and also for mock APIs.

Overview

The NodeJS API Boilerplate offers an excellent foundation for developers looking to build robust applications that can scale effectively. This project is particularly aimed at those who are working on large-scale projects or require a mock API. Its architecture is thoughtfully designed based on key software principles like Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Test-Driven Development (TDD), and SOLID principles, making it an ideal choice for modern web development.

With a focus on a microservice structure, the boilerplate includes separate modules for user and mobile functionalities. It is an efficient starting point for developers who want to adhere to best practices while enjoying the flexibility and organization of well-structured code.

Features

  • Express Framework: Utilizes Express to create a seamless and efficient web server for handling API requests.
  • Casual Data Generation: Implements the casual library for generating fake data, useful for testing and development purposes.
  • Encryption Tools: Leverages crypto-js for secure password encryption, ensuring user data protection.
  • JWT Authentication: Supports JSON Web Tokens for secure authentication and authorization in a user-friendly manner.
  • LowDB Integration: Employs lowdb for lightweight, JSON-based data storage, simplifying data management during development.
  • Modular Architecture: Features a clear separation of concerns through distinct modules for users and mobile apps, enhancing maintainability.
  • Unit Testing: Contains a dedicated tests directory for implementing unit tests, encouraging a test-first approach to development.
  • Future-Proof Scalability: Provides a clear structure for creating new modules and expanding the project as features evolve, with plans for adding logging, ORM support, and additional database helpers in the future.
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

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.
