💊 Minimal Express RESTful API boilerplate. Spin it up with single command. TypeScript, TypeORM, Postgres and Docker with focus on best practices and painless developer experience.

TypeORM / Express / TypeScript RESTful API boilerplate

Boilerplate with focus on best practices and painless developer experience:

• Minimal setup that can be extended 🔧
• Spin it up with single command 🌀
• TypeScript first
• RESTful APIs
• JWT authentication with role based authorization

Requirements

• Node v16+
• Docker

Running

Easily set up a local development environment with single command!

• clone the repo
• npm run docker:dev 🚀

Visit localhost:4000 or if using Postman grab config.

What happened 💥

Containers created:

• Postgres database container seeded with 💊 Breaking Bad characters in Users table (default credentials user=walter, password=white in .env file)
• Node (v16 Alpine) container with running boilerplate RESTful API service
• and one Node container instance to run tests locally or in CI

Features:

• Express framework
• TypeScript v4 codebase
• TypeORM using Data Mapper pattern
• Docker environment:
  • Easily start local development using Docker Compose with single command npm run docker:dev
  • Connect to different staging or production environments npm run docker:[stage|prod]
  • Ready for microservices development and deployment.
    Once API changes are made, just build and push new docker image with your favourite CI/CD tool
    docker build -t <username>/api-boilerplate:latest .
docker push <username>/api-boilerplate:latest
  • Run unit, integration (or setup with your frontend E2E) tests as docker exec -ti be_boilerplate_test sh and npm run test
• Contract first REST API design:
  • never break API again with HTTP responses and requests payloads using type definitions
  • Consistent schema error response. Your frontend will always know how to handle errors thrown in try...catch statements 💪
• JWT authentication and role based authorization using custom middleware
• Set local, stage or production environmental variables with type definitions
• Logging with morgan
• Unit and integration tests with Mocha and Chai
• Linting with ESLint
• Prettier code formatter
• Git hooks with Husky and lint-staged
• Automated npm & Docker dependency updates with Renovate (set to patch version only)
• Commit messages must meet conventional commits format.
  After staging changes just run npm run commit and get instant feedback on your commit message formatting and be prompted for required fields by Commitizen

Postgres and migration script not able to run in windows 10

I have tried to run npm run docker:dev and the following error promted using powershell on Windows 10 HOME.

• Postgress database system was interrupted;
  although its inturupted its showing running in docker

   database system is ready to accept connections
  be_boilerplate         | Server running on port 4000
  be_boilerplate         | Database connection success. Connection name: 'default' Database: 'boilerplate'

Here is docker log

• migrate script is not working missing script: migration:generate

Please give any solution for this.
