Star History

Overview

TEN stack is a Typescript + Express + Node starter kit to develop REST API server apps. Nothing new under the sun, just a straight forward combo to make server development a little bit faster. And of course, this make my freelancing days more enjoyable 😎 Comes with:

• Everything typed with Typescript

• ES6 features/modules

• ES7 async / await

• Run with Nodemon for automatic reload & watch

• ESLint for code linting

• Code formatting using Prettier

• Configuration management using dotenv

• Improved commits with Husky

• Manage production app proccess with PM2

Prerequisites

• Node.js (>= 16.0.0)
• Yarn or NPM

Install

• Fork or Use this template repository.
• Clone the forked repository.
• Install the dependencies with yarn or npm.

Make sure you already have node.js and npm or yarn installed in your system.

• Set your git remote add origin path

 git remote add origin ${forked-and-cloned-path}

Update the url if you already have an origin

Config

• Copy .env.example a file at the root of the application.
• Add or modify specific variables and update it according to your need.

 cp .env.example .env

Check the config folder to customize your settings (/src/config)

Alias @

To make paths clean and ease to access @ is setup up for /src path

// BEFORE
import config from './config';
import routes from './routes';

// NOW
import config from '@/config';
import routes from '@/routes';

You can customize this setup: /tsconfig.json > compilerOptions.paths /eslintrc.yml > rules.settings.alias.map

Local Development

Run the server locally. It will be run with Nodemon and ready to serve on port 8080 (unless you specify it on your .env)

 yarn start # or npm start

Check package.json to see more "scripts"

Production

First, build the application.

 yarn build # or npm run build

Then, use pm2 to start the application as a service.

 yarn service:start # or npm run service:start
