# nodejs-server-starter

This is the starter I use to build the servers I need for my side projects. Read more about how it works at http://tiny.cc/nodejs-server-starter.

![Blog post front cover](https://miro.medium.com/max/1500/1*i2v2TNtvoB_uq18W4IVLGA.png)

Features:

- A Koa.js server (Node JS)

- A MongoDB Database, access with mongo-express

- A GraphQL API

- Mocha/Chai integration tests

- GraphQL Code Generator

- Typescript

- Everything is containerized (docker-compose)

- Uses ESLint, Nodemon and git hooks for efficient development workflows.

## TL;DR - How to build my back-end on top of this starter?

1. Clone the repo.

2. Run `npm install`.

3. Duplicate `sample.env`, rename it `.env` and edit it with your secret variables.

4. Start the database and mongo-express containers by running `docker-compose up -d database mongo-express`.

5. Start the server by running `npm run start`.

6. Start coding! Head to `http://localhost:8081/` to use [mongo-express](https://github.com/mongo-express/mongo-express) to browse the database, and to `localhost:/graphiql` to play with graphQL. Extend the server with the features you need for your application.

## Issues & Contributing

Contributions to fix/improve this starter are welcome. Note that the goal is to keep it generic so that it can be used for any kind of server.
