A boilerplate application for building RESTful API microservices in Node.js using Express and Mongoose in ES6. It ships with JWT authentication, code coverage via Istanbul, ESLint linting, and auto-restarting dev tooling.

Use cases

• scaffold a node.js rest api with express and mongoose
• start a microservice with jwt authentication
• boilerplate for es6 node backend with code coverage
• template for express mongodb rest api project
• set up eslint and mocha coverage for a node api
• quickly bootstrap a restful api microservice

When to choose

• starting a new Express + MongoDB REST API from scratch
• you want JWT auth, testing, and coverage preconfigured
• you prefer ES6/Babel tooling and Airbnb style guide conventions

When to avoid

• you need a maintained starter with recent dependency updates
• your stack is not Node.js/Express/MongoDB
• you want GraphQL or non-relational-free alternatives like Prisma
