It's a boilerplate project that leverages Node.js and Express.js to demonstrate the powerful concept of feature flags in a practical, hands-on workshop.\n\n## 🎯 Overview\n\nFeature flags, or feature toggles, are a software development technique that allows developers to enable or disable features in a live environment without deploying new code. This provides a host of benefits including safer deployments, easier testing, and the ability to quickly roll back problematic features. This workshop will guide you through implementing your first feature flag.\n\n## 💾 Prerequisites\n\nEnsure you have the following installed on your local machine:\n\n- Node.js (v12.x or newer)\n- npm (usually bundled with Node.js)\n\n## ⚙️ Installation \u0026 Set Up\n\n1. Clone this repository to your local machine:\n\n   ```\n   git clone https://github.com/\u003cyour-username\u003e/feature-flags-node-workshop.git\n   ```\n\n2. Navigate into the project directory:\n\n   ```\n   cd feature-flags-node-workshop\n   ```\n\n3. Install the project dependencies:\n\n   ```\n   npm install\n   ```\n\n4. Rename `.env.template` to `.env` and fill in the required environment variables.\n\n## 🚀 Running the Application\n\nTo start the server, use the following command:\n\n```\nnpm start\n```\n\nBy default, the application runs on port 4000.\n\n## 🏗️ Usage\n\nUpon setting up the project, you can start implementing feature flags. The workshop exercises are located in the `/exercises` directory. Each exercise will guide you through the process of implementing a feature flag.\n\n## ✅ Testing\n\nTo run tests, use the following command in the project root directory:\n\n```\nnpm test\n```\n\n## 📁 Project Structure\n\nOur Express.js application follows the MVC architecture pattern and the file structure is divided accordingly. The main folders are:\n\n- `routes`: This folder is responsible for routing the application endpoints.\n- `utils`: This folder contains utility modules that can be used across the application.\n\n## 📜 Environment Variables\n\nThis project uses environment variables for configuration. Rename the `.env.template` file to `.env` and fill in the required values.\n\n## 🤝 Contributing\n\nContributions, issues, and feature requests are welcome!
