# Express Starter Kit README
## Introduction
This README provides a comprehensive guide to the Express Starter Kit, designed to jumpstart development with Express.js. It leverages cutting-edge tools and practices to deliver a robust foundation for building web applications.
## Features
- **Express.js Backend**: Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js.
- **Handlebars Templating**: Minimalistic templating engine, making it easy to create semantic templates.
- **TypeORM Integration**: Adds support for data manipulation using Object-Relational Mapping.
- **Awilix Dependency Injection**: Simplifies the management of dependencies for inversion of control.
- **Modern Tooling Setup**: Includes configurations for Babel (for using ES6+ syntax), ESLint (for code quality), Prettier (for formatting), and Webpack (for bundling).
## Prerequisites
Before installing, ensure you have the following installed:
- Node.js (latest version recommended)
- npm (comes with Node.js)

```
## Structure Overview
- `/src`: The heart of the application, containing all server-side logic, organized into various folders for better maintainability.
- `/controllers`: Responsible for handling incoming requests and returning responses to the client.
- `/services`: Contains business logic, service layers interact directly with models to perform data operations.
- `/models`: Represents data models, typically corresponding to database tables in ORM.
- `/routes`: Defines server routes, associating them with controller functions.
- `/views`: Holds Handlebars template files, which are rendered and sent by controllers.
- `/config`: Configuration files and environment variables for different aspects of the application, such as database connections.
- `/public`: Static files accessible to the public, such as images, CSS files, and client-side JavaScript.
- `/validation`: Defines validation rules for incoming requests.
- `/utils`: Utility functions used throughout the application.
- `/tests`: Tests for the application, including unit and integration tests to ensure code quality and functionality.
- `.env`: A file for environment variables (not tracked in Git for security reasons) used to store sensitive information like database passwords.
- `package.json`: Defines npm dependencies along with project or package information.
## Development
- **Running in Development Mode**: Use `npm run dev` to start the application with nodemon, allowing for hot reloading.
- **Environment Configuration**: Store sensitive information and configuration in `.env` files (not included in the repository for security reasons).
