## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
