It provides a structured starting point for your API development, with essential components and best practices.\n\n## Getting Started\n\nFollow these steps to get started with this project:\n\n1. Clone the repository to your local machine:\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/js-express-api-template.git\n   ```\n\n2. Change your working directory to the project folder:\n   ```bash\n   cd js-express-api-template\n   ```\n\n3. Install the project dependencies:\n   ```bash\n   pnpm i\n   ```\n\n4. Create a `.env` file and configure your environment variables. You can use the `.env.example` file as a starting point.\n\n5. Start the server:\n   1. For development:\n      ```bash\n      pnpm run dev\n      ```\n   2. For production:\n       ```bash\n      pnpm run start\n      ```\n\nYour API will be available at `http://localhost:3000`.\n\n## Project Structure\n\nThe project has the following directory structure:\n\n- `src/`: Contains the source code of the application.\n  - `api/`: Contains the API code.\n    - `controllers/`: Controllers for handling HTTP requests.\n    - `middleware/`: Custom middleware functions.\n    - `routes/`: API routes and endpoints.\n    - `services/`: Business logic for the API.\n    - `tasks/`: Scheduled tasks.\n    - `validations/`: Request validation schemas.\n  - `database/`: Configuration files for the project.\n    - `config/`: Database configuration files.\n    - `migrations/`: Database migration files.\n    - `models/`: Database models and sequelize entry point.\n    - `seeders/`: Database seed files.\n    - `utils/`: Utility functions and helpers.\n  - `lib/`: Custom libraries and utilities.\n    - `handlers/`: Custom file abd route handlers.\n    - `utils/`: Utility functions and helpers.\n  - `tests/`: Test files and configurations for testing the API.\n  - `app.js`: The entry point of the application.\n\n## Usage\n\nYou can start building your API by adding controllers, models, and routes in the appropriate directories within the `src/` folder. The `express` framework is already set up for you, so you can create new routes and controllers as needed.\n\n## Testing\n\nThe project includes a testing framework to help you write and run tests for your API. You can find example test files in the `tests/` directory. Use the following command to run the tests:\n\n```bash\npnpm run test\n```\nOr for windows:\n```bash\npnpm run test:win\n```\n\nYou can also add more tests as you develop your API to ensure that it works as expected.\n\n## Contributing\n\nIf you'd like to contribute to this project, please follow these guidelines:\n\n1. Fork the repository.\n2. Create a new branch for your feature or bug fix.\n3. Make your changes and write tests if necessary.\n4. Submit a pull request to the main repository.\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE - see the [LICENSE.md](LICENSE.md) file for details.\n\n## Acknowledgments\n\nThis project is inspired by various Node.js and Express.js API templates and best practices available in the open-source community.\n\nFeel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance.
