This repo is for my simple Express JS boilerplate code specifically tailored for API use.
So I wanted to write one from scratch so I could understand all the moving parts. I'm sure there's many different ways cutting this cloth but I achieved what I wanted to and have a route forwards with the rest.
One of the items I wanted to address with this boilerplate was routing. I wanted to have the ability to quickly add different methods and paths to my API without having to change existing code.
The routing works on a folder (for allowed methods) and file (for allowed paths) basis. This means anything in ./src/routes can be changed and it'll work out the box!
This comes with a tested example hello-world.
Based on the routing approach the output of ./src/routes/GET/hello-world.js can be obtained via a GET request to http://localhost:3001/hello-world.
