🚀 Express Template Quickstart\n\n*A lightweight, ready-to-use boilerplate to jumpstart your Express.js + TypeScript + auth + security backend projects.*\n\n[![TypeScript](https://img.shields.io/badge/TypeScript-5.3-blue.svg)](https://www.typescriptlang.org/)\n[![Node.js](https://img.shields.io/badge/Node.js-16+-green.svg)](https://nodejs.org/)\n[![Express](https://img.shields.io/badge/Express-4.18-lightgrey.svg)](https://expressjs.com/)\n[![MongoDB](https://img.shields.io/badge/MongoDB-5+-brightgreen.svg)](https://www.mongodb.com/)\n[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](LICENSE)\n\n\n\n##

Contributions](#-feedback-and-contributions)\n- [License](#-license)\n\n\n\n## 🧠 About the Project\n\nAs a web developer, I got tired of retyping the same Express boilerplate for every new project.\n**So I decided to build my own clean, modular, and secure template** — a solid foundation to **quickstart any backend** without wasting time reinventing setup, structure, or config.\n\nThis template comes ready with TypeScript, Express, security middlewares, logging, and best practices.\nClone it, configure it, and start coding your features immediately.\n\n\n## ✨ Features\n\n* **🧩 TypeScript support** — modern syntax, type safety, and scalability\n* **⚡ Express 4.18** — minimal and fast web framework for Node.js\n* **🛡️ Security ready** — Helmet, CORS, CSRF protection, rate limiting, and bcrypt\n* **🧱 Clean structure** — controllers, routes, services, middleware, config\n* **🧰 Centralized config** — manage everything via `.env`\n* **📜 Logging** — organized and centralized logs\n* **🚀 Ready to deploy** — easily adaptable for production environments\n\n\n## ⚙️ Requirements\n\nMake sure you have the following installed:\n\n* **Node.js** ≥ 16\n* **npm** or **yarn**\n* **MongoDB** ≥ 5 (local or remote instance)\n\n\n## 🪄 Quickstart\n\n### 1. Clone the Repository\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/Dev-Relax/express-template-quickstart.git\ncd express-template-quickstart\n```\n\n### 2. Install Dependencies\n\n```bash\nnpm install\n```\n\n### 3. Configure Environment Variables\n\nCopy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill it with your own values:\n\n```bash\ncp .env.example .env\n```\n\nExample `.env`:\n\n```\nPORT=5000\nMONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/your_database_name\nJWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret\nJWT_REFRESH_SECRET=your_refresh_secret\nCSRF_SECRET=your_csrf_secret\n```\n\n### 4. Start the Development Server\n\n```bash\nnpm run dev\n```\n\nYour API is now running at **[http://localhost:5000](http://localhost:3000)** 🚀\n\n### 5. Build for Production\n\n```bash\nnpm run build\nnpm start\n```\n\n## 📂 Structure\n\n```\n.\n├── src/\n│   ├── config/          # Configuration (env, db)\n│   ├── controllers/     # Request handlers\n│   ├── middleware/      # Auth, error handling, logging\n│   ├── routes/          # API routes\n│   ├── services/        # Business logic and data access\n│   └── index.ts         # App entry point\n├── .env.example\n├── package.json\n├── tsconfig.json\n└── nodemon.json\n```\n\n## 🤝 Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome!\nIf you have improvements, bug fixes, or feature ideas:\n\n1.
