Start the application
Start The application in Development Mode
- Clone the Application
git clone https://github.com/santoshshinde2012/node-boilerplate.git
- Install the dependencies
npm install
- Start the application
npm run dev
Start The application in Production Mode
- Install the dependencies
npm install
- Create the build

- Before starting make sure to update your
.env
values for your refrence just check.env.example

Workflow
Encryption
Set the APPLY_ENCRYPTION
environment variable to true
to enable encryption.
Swagger API Documentation
The swagger documentation is available at the following url ${host}/docs
:
Default System Health Status API
${host}/api/system/info
- Return the system information in response${host}/system/time
- Return the current time in response${host}/system/usage
- Return the process and system memory usage in response${host}/system/process
- Return the process details in response${host}/system/error
- Return the error generated object in response
Postman Collections
Refrences
- Skeleton for Node.js Apps written in TypeScript
- Setup Eslint Prettier and Husky in Node JS Typescript Project
Notes
1. Why is my git pre-commit hook not executable by default?
- Because files are not executable by default; they must be set to be executable.
chmod ug+x .husky/*
chmod ug+x .git/hooks/*
2. Production Best Practices: Security
- Don’t use deprecated or vulnerable versions of Express
- Use TLS
- Use Helmet
- Use cookies securely
- Prevent brute-force attacks against authorization
- Ensure your dependencies are secure
- Avoid other known vulnerabilities
- Additional considerations
3. Tutorials
- Skeleton for Node.js Apps written in TypeScript (with Setup Instructions for ESLint, Prettier, and Husky)
- Global Error and Response Handler in Node JS with Express and Typescript
- Testing with Jest in TypeScript and Node.js for Beginners
- Static Code Analysis for Node.js and TypeScript Project using SonarQube
- Visualization of Node.js Event Emitter
