I tried to use airbnb-typescript before but I had issues with it so I switched to a regular with some modifications.

I am using this principles in a real world apps in production, this repo probably won't grow to an entire app (maybe a small one), but I will add better examples with a few more modules in the future.

• email represents a module that would contain logic for sending emails, now it contains only a dummy service. I didn't implement that because it is out of scope of this example and would require an email server etc. Implementations doesn't matter in this example, it's there just to show you that event handler will launch and email service to send emails when some event happens.
• domain-event-handlers, as the name suggests, are handlers for events that may happen in a domain. Where to put them is a matter of preference, i prefer having them as a module, but you may put them wherever you want. Maybe outside of modules would be a better place to avoid confusion. Remember that it is an example and you have to adapt things to your preferences.
• lint rules - that's what I've been using lately. Some rules for airbnb don't play well with TypeScript, so I had to disable them, some rules are not strict enough, so I changed the default "warn" to an "error", for things like "any" type. Linter rules are a matter of preference.
• for dev environment - you have to start docker:env (this will download and launch a postgresql), but it has no databases yet, so you should create a database manually at this point (for example by going to pgadmin or by executing a CREATE DATABASE... query), and then start:dev should start working. I'll have to automate database creation step to avoid creating it manually, noted for the future.

thanks for the quick response.
There is a separate Airbnb TS rules conf, might look into it eslint-config-airbnb-typescript

I'm wondering how far will you go with this repo, will it stay as a guideline with basic examples or will it grow into a real-world-app? hoping for the latter :D
