A Node.js boilerplate/starter template for building production-ready RESTful APIs with Express and Mongoose. It ships with JWT authentication, request validation, logging, testing, Swagger docs, Docker support, and CI configured out of the box.

Use cases

• scaffold a node express rest api project
• boilerplate for mongodb api with jwt auth
• production-ready express starter with tests and docker
• quickly start a nodejs backend with mongoose
• express api template with swagger documentation
• starter project with authentication and validation built in

When to choose

• starting a new Node.js/Express REST API with MongoDB from scratch
• you want auth, validation, logging, testing, and docs preconfigured
• you prefer a conventional layered project structure with best practices

When to avoid

• your stack is not Node.js/Express/MongoDB
• you need GraphQL or a relational database instead
• you want a minimal unopinionated setup you configure yourself
