Quality checks

This app follows as close as possible node best practices https://github.com/goldbergyoni/nodebestpractices where ever applicable and feasable

• Project Structure Practices
  • Structure your solution by components
  • Layer your components, keep Express within its boundaries
  • Wrap common utilities as npm packages
  • Separate Express 'app' and 'server' TODO: Use environment aware, secure and hierarchical config
  • Use environment aware, secure and hierarchical config
• Error Handling Practices
• Use Async-Await or promises for async error handling
• Use only the built-in Error object
• Distinguish operational vs programmer errors
• Handle errors centrally, not within an Express middleware
• Document API errors using Swagger or GraphQL
• Exit the process gracefully when a stranger comes to town
• Use a mature logger to increase error visibility

Tech stack

• Vanilla Javascript - ES6
• JWT for authorization - no session is maintained
