How to use

Fork this repo and start working on your project!

Remember to cp .env.example .env and set up your .env file before diving into code.

Run yarn dev to start a nodemon development instance. Run yarn start to start a production environment.

The evil linter is enabled by default. The app will not start unless you have zero eslint errors. You should really avoid disabling it: it's there for a reason, to provide maximum code quality.

Project structure

• Everything that relates to the database is inside the src/dao folder and should not get out of that folder. If you ever choose to change database, for example move from MongoDB to MySQL, you should only replace the contents of the src/dao folder.
• Support for multi-language is in the src/dictionary folder.
• Routing is in the src/routes folder.
• Yup validation for routing fields is in the src/validation folder.
• Authentication strategies are in the src/strategies folder.
• Plug-in systems such as the mail scheduler, the socket are in the src/systems folder.
• HTML templates (for example, mail templates) are in the src/templates folder.
• Utils are functions that might be of help everywhere. You'll find them in the src/utils folder.
