Hey There! π
π€Ύ that βοΈ button if you like this boilerplate.
A boilerplate for Node.js App.
- This boilerplate is built using Express.js web framework, and is using Typescript Lang for writing the app's logic.
- It uses Node's Cluster API, this helps us to take advantage of multi-core systems & to handle the load.
- For storing custom constant configurations within the
process.env
- DotEnv package is used. - For Database - Repo contains the use of Mongoose (ie. MongoDB object modeling for Node.js).
- For Cache - Repo contains the use of memory-cache (ie. A simple in-memory cache for node.js).
- For Routing - Repo contains the use of express-router & have distributed Routes into two files ie. Web Routes & API Routes.
- For Route Auth Middleware - Web routes are configured with CSRF Token while the API routes are configured with JSON Web Token.
- For Strategies Auth - Repo contains the use of the Passport.js. Passport.js is compatible with Express.js and is authentication middleware for Node.js.
- For Logging - Repo uses custom Log class built in middlewares folder, and it creates logs file by date & removes the log files after 'X' days (You can define that 'X' in the
.env
file). - For Handling Exception - Repo contains two classes ie.
Handler
&NativeEvent
. - To Log - use
Log.info('Your message should go here!')
. Other options for logging areLog.warn
,Log.error
&Log.custom
. - For views - Repo contains the use of PUG template engine.
- For background queues - Repo contains the use of Kue. For more details, please review the Queue class.
