Nestjs Angular Starter

Overview:

This product analysis is analyzing a starter template for a NodeJS (typescript) and Angular 10 project. The template includes features such as Angular 10 with SSR, unit tests, JWT and token authentication, social authentication (Google and Facebook), form validations, Docker support, Nginx support as a reverse proxy, and complete CI/CD process based on Github Actions. The template is built on NestJS, which is a more documented and popular library compared to the deprecated "nodejs-angular-starter" it is based on. The template shares models between Angular and NodeJS, and both can run on the same webserver as the NodeJS exposes all default routes to Angular and all known routes to the API.
