A typescript nodejs express boilerplate server, w/ gulp as the build system

node-express-boilerplate's Issues

Base boilerplate

• Define package.json dependecies
  • express stack
  • jasmin-js for testing
  • gulp & its dependencies
  • nodemon
• Add base express application, convert to typescript

Add mocha library for tests

Use supertest + mocha for route testing example, same as we had for jasmine

Prevent jasmine from breaking out of gulp task when test is finished

jasmine onComplete should be registered to return a deferred from the gulp task instead of breaking out

Add simple test on the example route to check we get a 200 response

Add PM2 integration as a gulp task

https://www.npmjs.com/package/pm2

Add chai & sinon for testing

Upgrade dockerfile to nodeJS 5.0, use ES6 inside gulp build tasks

Move .env files outside of src folder

Since the source folder is not going to be included (even if it is, user shouldn't have to look into it), move the .env, .env.example files to the root of the project

Improve typing

• Add (res: express.Response, req: express.Request) types to the routes
• Try to convert routes to modules

release task

We already have this mostly done, we need to remove the switch branches job since this will be run on master branch only.

• Bump package version
• Tag release
• build dist

Investigate how to do this w/ travis ci.
http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/#Conditional-Releases-with-on%3A

Typescriptify gulp build

typescriptify the gulp build system

• Use the https://github.com/eknkc/typescript-require module

https://gist.github.com/develar/124104ed476092f441c5

DONE

Typescript compilation task

https://github.com/ivogabe/gulp-typescript

• Needs to use the tsconfig file we defined before
• Needs to use the src/out folders based on the tsconfig file
• Specify typescript version to use manually so we can use 1.5 alpha

Typescript linter task

• Use tslint linter, and a tslint.json config file
  See here for example

https://github.com/DanWahlin/AngularIn20TypeScript/blob/master/gulpfile.js

Serve tasks

• Serve task (using nodemon)

Versioning

• package bump task. We need to check it

Notifications

• Add gulp notifications for test/build complete

Dockerize app

Add a Dockerfile development file where we can run gulp commands with the app mounted, so we can serve the app without having node installed locally.

Just a Comment

Just thought I'd comment on this shit piece of coding rubbish....

Add travis build config

Once the boilerplate is working and building

• Add a travis config with a task that
  • Lints code
  • Builds the server
  • Runs tests

Add test coverage reporting for mocha

• Add test coverage reporting for mocha (provide different output formats)
• Add coveralls integration in travis testing

Fix app.js not working, add conditional on dotenv to check the env file exists
