The "nodejs-starter-application" is a boilerplate project setup for building robust server-side applications using Node.js. It provides a well-organized structure and essential configurations to accelerate development with a focus on scalability and maintainability.
- Modular Architecture: Organize your code into controllers, services, models, and utilities for better separation of concerns.
- Express.js: A lightweight and flexible web framework for handling HTTP requests and routing.
- Middleware: Easily extend functionality with custom middleware for tasks such as authentication.
- Database Integration: Simple configuration for connecting to a database (mocked for demonstration purposes).
- Babel: Transpile modern JavaScript using Babel.
- ESLint: Lint your code to enforce coding standards and catch potential issues early.
- Utility Functions: Includes sample utilities for logging and other common tasks.
