create-express-template\n\nA starter template for initializing Node.js projects using [npm init](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/commands/npm-init),\ndesigned to establish a consistent foundation for API microservices with Express.js.\nThis template provides a standardized setup that simplifies the implementation of\nspecific project requirements and accelerates development.\n\n## To Use\n\n```bash\nnpm init git+https://github.com/jabez007/express-template.git my-express-api\n```\n\nor\n\n```bash\nnpm init @jabez007/express-template my-express-api\n```\n\nthen\n\n```bash\ncd ./my-express-api\n\nnpm install\n\nnpm run test\n\nnpm run serve\n```\n\n### To Build\n\nThere are two scripts that allow you to test the Docker image locally\nbefore pushing to Github where Github Actions will build and publish the Docker image\n\n```bash\nnpm run build:docker\n\nnpm run serve:docker\n```\n\n## Middlewares\n\nThis template comes pre-configured with essential middleware components to streamline development and enhance the functionality of your API.\nThese middlewares facilitate efficient logging, intuitive routing, and comprehensive API documentation.\nBy integrating these tools out of the box, the template ensures that your microservice is both robust and maintainable from the start,\nallowing you to focus on building out your specific application logic.\n\n### swagger\n\n### request-id\n\n### winston\n\n### morgan\n\n### MITchyM\n\n## Helpers\n\nTo ensure seamless communication between microservices,\nthis template includes specialized helper modules designed to enrich outgoing requests with essential metadata.\nThese modules automatically append the necessary information to facilitate comprehensive logging and tracking within the target microservices.\nBy standardizing the data passed between services,\nthese helpers promote better traceability, easier debugging, and a more cohesive system-wide logging strategy.\n\n### axios\n\n## Containerization\n\nThis template also provides a standardized configuration for containerizing your Express server,\nenabling easy deployment within a Docker environment.\nThe included setup ensures that your application is consistently built into a lightweight and efficient container image,\nfollowing best practices for security and performance.\nWith this configuration,\nyou can seamlessly integrate your service into modern DevOps pipelines,\nfacilitating smooth deployments and scalability across various environments.\n\n### Docker\n\n## Deploying\n\nTo simplify the deployment of your containerized Express server,\nthis template includes manifests tailored for orchestrated environments.\nThese manifests are pre-configured for popular orchestration platforms,\nensuring that your microservices can be deployed and managed efficiently at scale.\nBy leveraging these manifests,\nyou can achieve seamless integration, consistent environment configuration, and reliable scaling across your entire microservice architecture.\n\n### Kubernetes\n\n## CI/CD\n\nThis template comes equipped with pre-built CI/CD workflows\nto automate key stages of your development pipeline,including unit testing, containerization, and deployment.\nThese workflows are designed to streamline the process of building, testing, and deploying your Express server,\nensuring that every change is consistently verified and delivered across environments.\nBy automating these tasks,\nthe template reduces manual intervention, enhances reliability, and accelerates the delivery of high-quality microservices.\n\n### Github
