The aim of this project is to have a simple and adaptable REST API Boilerplate.
This is a straightforward boilerplate application for building REST APIs in Node.js using Fastify with Code Coverage. Helps you stay productive by following best practices.
- Fastify: Fastify is a web framework highly focused on providing the best developer experience with the least overhead and a powerful plugin architecture. It is inspired by Hapi and Express and as far as we know, it is one of the fastest web frameworks in town.
- Winston: as a logger for the API.
- Newman: as a manager for the postman collections. It allows you to effortlessly run and test a Postman collection directly from the command-line.
- Sequelize: Sequelize is a promise-based Node.js ORM for Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite and Microsoft SQL Server. It features solid transaction support, relations, eager and lazy loading, read replication and more.
- Jest + supertest: Powerfull combination to testing node.js HTTP servers.
- ESLint: a pluggable linter tool for identifying and reporting on patterns in JavaScript, combined with Prettier so with can get the benefits of
prettier'ssuperior formatting capabilities, but also benefit from the configuration capabilities ofeslint.javascript/tree/master/packages/eslint-config-airbnb), which tries to follow the Airbnb JavaScript style guide. | - npm: Uses npm as package manager.
- http-status: to set http status code. It is recommended to use
httpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERRORinstead of directly using500when setting status code.
- Install npm.

# Run newman as a Node.js module (server needs to be running)
