A REST API boilerplate for Node.js using Koa2 and TypeScript, with TypeORM for SQL CRUD, JWT/CORS/Winston/Helmet middlewares, and Swagger docs. It ships with Docker support, GitHub Actions CI, and a demo deployment on Heroku.

Use cases

• bootstrap a TypeScript REST API with Koa
• set up a Node.js API with TypeORM and SQL
• start a REST API project with JWT auth and Swagger docs
• get a Docker-ready Node TypeScript API template
• learn a well-structured Koa2 project setup
• scaffold an API with CI/CD via GitHub Actions

When to choose

• you want a ready-made Koa + TypeScript + TypeORM starting point
• you need JWT auth, validation, logging, and Swagger wired up out of the box
• you want Docker and CI included in a starter project

When to avoid

• you need a production framework rather than a starter template
• you prefer Express, Fastify, or NestJS over Koa
• you use a NoSQL database instead of SQL via TypeORM
