For starters, do consider going to Microsoft Typescript Node Starter first.
This project was created to be able to scaffold backend servers quickly. Clean architecture has been used extensively. Let me know in the issues if there are things which can be improved on.
Special thanks to Abhinav for the guidance and support.
-
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/terrytay/backend-architecture.git -
Install dependencies
cd <project_name> npm install -
Configure your server
.env.example has been left in the directory on purpose for you to replace the variables with your actual server details and other environment variables.
You can rename .env.example to .env.production / .env.dev
Add your .env.whatever to file /copy_static_assets.ts and remove unused ones:
shell.cp("-R", ".env.whatever", "dist/"); -
Build and run the project
npm run build && npm run start
Take not that package.json is not fully configured for production yet. Use with caution.
Often time, we need to check the health status, especially when using in K8s. This application has health check configured.
curl -GET http://localhost:3000/health
