Concept of Structure

This structure, is based on some designs like DDD, Middleware Based NodeJS and the folders has the follow objectives:

bin/ - Binaries folder, can be used for routines postinstall of npm.

config/ - All of the configurations autoload of the project, like database variables.

config/routes/ - Autoload of routes for less dependency.

src/data/ - Contains the files for manipulating the connection ( repositories, structures, connection )

src/domain/ - Following the concept of DDD, the domain can be a domain of your application.

src/handlers/ - Following the concept of Middleware Based, the handlers manipulate the requests and delegate to your services.

src/middlewares/ - Middleware of routes, can be Auth, Roles...

src/routes/ - All routes for your project ( Obs: The route need has the name like *.route.js inside folder routes/ ).

src/services/ - Services for your application.

src/utils/ - Utils for your application, parser, and any util.

tests/ - Tests, actually using JEST.

npm test
