koa-api-boilerplate

This repository is a boilerplate for building APIs with koa2 and Mongo DB. This repository was originally forked from Adrian Obelmejias' koa-api-boilerplate repository. It makes the following modifications:

• Removes babel as a dependency. This repository is now naively compatible with node v8.9 or higher.

• Replaced bcrypt dependency with bcryptjs. This improves compatibility across versions of node.js and across OSs.

• Configured for Jenkins (continuous integration), Coveralls (code coverage), Green Keeper (automated dependency management), and Semantic Release (automated versioning).

• 'Production' environment is targeted for packaging as a Docker container.

• 'admin' user type added in addition to standard 'user' type. Allows the creation of private vs public APIs that only be accessed by an admin. Useful for privileged commands like updating and deleting other users.

• Winston logging integrated for daily rotated logs and a maximum size of 1 megabyte.

• Linting enforced with Husky and JavaScript Standard Style rules.

Features

This project covers basic necessities of most APIs.

• Authentication (passport & jwt)
• Database (mongoose)
• Testing (mocha)
• Doc generation with apidoc
• Linting using standard
• Packaged as a Docker container

Requirements

• node ^10.15.1
• npm ^6.7.0
