A ready-to-use boilerplate for building REST APIs with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. It provides a structured ES6 project skeleton with JWT authentication, user registration/login, OTP account confirmation, CRUD examples, validation, and Mocha/Chai test cases.

Use cases

• scaffold a nodejs express mongodb rest api project
• starting point for building a restful backend api
• learn how to structure an express mongodb api
• add jwt token authentication to a node api
• bootstrap an api for a mobile or frontend app
• example of crud endpoints with mongoose

When to choose

• you want a lightweight, beginner-friendly express + mongodb starter
• you need auth, email, validation, and testing wired up out of the box
• you prefer a simple, well-organized project structure in ES6

When to avoid

• you use a database other than MongoDB
• you want TypeScript or a modern framework like NestJS or Fastify
• you need GraphQL, microservices, or advanced production features
• the project sees infrequent updates and may lag behind current dependency versions
