Express Nunjucks TailwindCSS

A starter project with Express, Nunjucks and TailwindCSS

Setup

Pre-requisites:

  • Docker for Desktop

Run docker-compose up in the root of the project.

It will bring up Postgres and the Express application server in development mode.

It binds the application server to localhost:3000, this can be re-mapped this by changing the first 3000 in 3000:3000 of ./docker-compose.yaml).

The default Docker CMD is npm start, ./docker-compose.yaml overrides this to npm run dev which runs the application using nodemon (auto-restart on file change).

Express setup

The Express "page" resources are located in ./src/pages.

Their corresponding Nunjucks templates are in ./src/views.

Applications routes for pages are defined in ./src/router.js.

Global concerns like security, cookie parsing, body parsing and request logging are handled in ./server.js.

This application loosely follows the Presentation Domain Data Layering:

  • Data Presentation is dealt with in the ./src/pages folder
  • Domain is dealt with in the ./src/modules folder.
