# Deno Back-End Starter Kit
This repository is a ready-to-use starter kit for Deno, offering a
well-organized and structured API setup similar to what you might expect from a
Node.js environment. It includes configurations for essential packages such as
Hono, Mongoose, and jsonwebtoken.
### Important Note
This starter kit is not intended for newcomers. It is recommended for developers
who have advanced experience with Node.js and TypeScript, and who understand the
Deno architecture. If you are new to these technologies, it is advisable to
first familiarize yourself with the basics before using this starter kit.

- **GitHub**: [a4arpon](https://github.com/a4arpon)
- **LinkedIn**: [a4arpon](https://www.linkedin.com/in/a4arpon)

## Packages Used
- **Deno**
- **Hono**
- **Mongoose**
- **jsonwebtoken**
## Why Use This Starter Kit?
This starter kit solves the problem of having an unstructured and disorganized
API setup in Deno. Unlike Node.js, there isn't a wealth of well-organized
starter templates for Deno. This kit provides:
- A structured folder organization
- Pre-configured middlewares for logging, CORS, and security
- A ready-to-use database connection setup with Mongoose
- Standardized response and error handling mechanisms
- Flexibility to add plugins and change database drivers as needed
## What's Next?
I'm willing to include these things in the Starter-Kit in future
- Deno KV
- Deno Corn
- Mail System
- Authorization Guards

## Key Components
### Main Application Setup (`main.ts`)
- **Environment Loader**: Loads environment variables.
- **Middlewares**: Sets up logging, CORS, and security headers.
- **Database Connection**: Connects to MongoDB using Mongoose.
- **Router Setup**: Defines base routes and integrates with the router.
### Router (`router.ts`)
- **Stable Routes**: Handles stable API routes.
- **Beta Routes**: Placeholder for beta routes, currently returns a not active
message.
### Stable Routes (`stable.routes.ts`)
Defines the routes for user-related operations.
### User Services (`user.services.ts`)
Contains the business logic for user operations, such as creating a user and
retrieving users.
### Utility Functions
- **Async Handler (`async.ts`)**: Safely handles async operations to catch
errors.
```ts
export function safeAsync(func) {
return async (context) => {
try {
return await func(context)
} catch (error) {
return exception(
context,
HTTPStatus.InternalServerError,
"Internal Server Error",
)
}
}
}
```
**Explanation**: This function wraps asynchronous operations to handle errors
gracefully. It catches any errors thrown within the wrapped function and
returns a standardized error response.
- **Response (`response.ts`)**: Standardizes JSON responses.
```ts
export function response(context, message, data, extra, success) {
return context.json({
success: success || true,
message,
...extra,
data,
})
}
```
**Explanation**: This function formats the response sent to the client. It
ensures a consistent response structure with optional additional data and
success status.
- **Exception (`response.ts`)**: Handles exceptions and sends error responses.
```ts
export function exception(context, status, error) {
if (status && error instanceof Error) {
context.status(status)
return context.json({
success: false,
status: status,
message: error.message,
})
}
context.status(500)
return context.json({
success: false,
status: 500,
message: "Internal Server Error",
})
}
```
**Explanation**: This function handles exceptions and sends a structured error
response. It sets the HTTP status code and returns an error message.
## Customization
### Adding Plugins
You can easily add plugins to this starter kit from the
[Hono website](https://hono.dev/). Follow the instructions on the website to
integrate additional functionalities as per your requirements.
### Changing Database Driver
The starter kit uses Mongoose for MongoDB. However, you can replace it with any
other database driver by updating the database connection logic in `main.ts` and
adjusting the models and services accordingly.
## Getting Started
1. **Clone the repository**:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/a4arpon/deno-starter-kit.git
```
2. **Install Deno**: Follow the instructions on the
[official Deno website](https://deno.com).
3. **Run the application**:
```sh
deno task start
```
