The goal of this project is to provide a ready-to-use foundation for backend development, with best practices in structure, database handling, and scalability.\n\n## Inspiration\n\nThis project was inspired by the [typescript-express-starter](https://github.com/ljlm0402/typescript-express-starter) repository. Special thanks to the creator for providing a solid foundation that helped shape this starter template.\n\n## Features\n\n- 🛠️ **Express.js**: Minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework.\n- 🔒 **TypeScript**: Strictly typed JavaScript to help maintain code quality and scalability.\n- 📊 **Prisma**: A powerful ORM for interacting with your database, supporting migrations and type-safe queries.\n- 🗄️ **Database configurations**: Easy setup and management of database connections (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.).\n- 🛡️ **Best practices**: Code organization, error handling, and structured logging.\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### Prerequisites\n\nEnsure you have the following installed on your local machine:\n\n- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (v14 or higher)\n- [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)\n\n\n### Installation\n\n1. Clone this repository:\n\n     ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/Bope142/express-typescript-prisma-starter.git\n   ```\n\n2. Navigate to the project folder:\n\n ```bash\n    cd express-typescript-prisma-starter\n   ```\n\n\n3. Install dependencies:\n\n    ```bash\n   npm install\n   ```\n\n4. Set up environment variables ,create `.env.development.local`\n`.env.production.local` `.env.test.local`\n:\n\n   ```bash\n      # PORT\n    PORT=4000\n\n    # DATABASE\n    DATABASE_URL=mysql://username:password@localhost:3306/yourdatabase\n\n    # TOKEN\n    SECRET_KEY=yoursecret\n\n    # LOG\n    LOG_FORMAT=dev\n    LOG_DIR=../logs\n\n    # CORS\n    ORIGIN=*\n    CREDENTIALS=true\n\n   ```\n\n5. Update the `.env` file with your database credentials.\n\n### Prisma Setup\n\n1. Initialize Prisma:\n\n     ```bash\n    npx prisma init\n   ```\n\n2. Run migrations to set up the database schema:\n\n ```bash\n   npx prisma migrate dev --name init\n   ```\n\n3. Generate Prisma Client:\n\n ```bash\n   npx prisma generate\n   ```\n\n### Running the Application\n\n1. Start the server in development mode:\n\n ```bash\n    npm run dev\n   ```\n\n\n2. The server will start on `http://localhost:3000`.\n\n\n\n### Useful Resources\n\n- [Express.js Documentation](https://expressjs.com/)\n- [TypeScript Documentation](https://www.typescriptlang.org/)\n- [Prisma Documentation](https://www.prisma.io/docs/)\n- [Docker Documentation](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/)\n\n---\n\n### License\n\nThis project is licensed under the MIT License.
