# Secure Node.js Express.js & TypeScript Boilerplate 🛡️
A robust and secure Express.js boilerplate with TypeScript, featuring advanced security middleware, MongoDB integration, and development tools for building production-ready Node.js applications.
## 🚀 Features
- **Express.js with TypeScript**: Modern, type-safe backend development
- **MongoDB Integration**: Easy database setup with Mongoose
- **Advanced Security Measures**:
- 🔒 Helmet for setting various HTTP headers
- 🌐 CORS support
- 🚦 Rate limiting to prevent abuse
- 🧹 Data sanitization against NoSQL injection and XSS
- 🛑 Parameter pollution prevention
- **Environment Configuration**: dotenv for easy environment variable management
- **Logging**: Morgan for HTTP request logging
- **Error Handling**: Custom error handling middleware
- **API Routing**: Structured API routing setup
- **Development Tools**:
- 🐛 Debug for better debugging experience
- 🔄 Nodemon for auto-restarting the server (add to your devDependencies)
## 📋 Prerequisites
- Node.js (v14+ recommended)
- MongoDB
## 🛠️ Installation
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/manju1807/node-ts-express-template.git
```
2. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
3. Create a `.env` file in the root directory and add your environment variables:
```bash
MONGODB_URI=your_mongodb_connection_string
PORT=3000
NODE_ENV=development
```
4. Start the development server:
```bash
npm run dev
```
## 🚦 API Routes
All routes are prefixed with `/api/v1`. Add your routes in `src/routes/index.ts`.
## 🛡️ Security
This boilerplate comes with several security measures:
-\* **Helmet**: Sets various HTTP headers
-\* **CORS**: Configures Cross-Origin Resource Sharing
-\* **Rate Limiting**: Limits repeated requests to public APIs
-\* **Data Sanitization**: Prevents NoSQL injections and XSS attacks
-\* **Parameter Pollution Prevention**: Prevents parameter pollution
## 🐛 Debugging
Use the `debug` package for debugging. Start your application with:
```bash
DEBUG=app:* npm start
```
