Express-Sequelize-API boilerplate

This is a simple boilerplate for creating APIs with NodeJs express framework. Here API access token encapsulated/encrypted with JWT token based system.

• Sample API ready for login
• API middlewares for normal user and Admin user
• ES6 import/export available to the user with spread operators
• Deploy your app with cluster (cluster implementation is integrated)
• jest test configured
• add test case for mock database model/functions to test controllers functions

Getting Started

You can download this repo or clone using below command. (folder-name will be project folder in which you want to start your project).

git clone https://github.com/binitghetiya/express-sequelize-api-boilerplate.git <folder-name>

or from Download Zip

https://github.com/binitghetiya/express-sequelize-api-boilerplate 

Project Setup

Once you clone or download project go into you folder

now copy .env.local file to .env file

Installing

> npm install or yarn install  (this will install all dependent libraries)

Database Config Setup

Create new database (let's say i'm going to use mysql and my database name is express-sequelize-api). so in my .env file will set below parameters.

DB_HOST=localhost               # database connection host
DB_USER=root                    # database username
DB_PASS=secret@123              # database password
DB_NAME=express-sequelize-api   # database name
DB_DIALECT=mysql                # database dialect
DB_PORT=3306                    # database port

some other inportant parameters/keys in .env file

APP_HOST=localhost      # application host name
APP_PORT=3000           # application port
SECRET=secret           # secret key for encrypt/decrypt JWT token

are you going to user google captcha while register? then also add/update in .env

IS_GOOGLE_AUTH_ENABLE=true          # enable google captcha
GOOGLE_CAPTCHA_SECRET_CLIENT=secret
GOOGLE_CAPTCHA_SECRET_SERVER=secret
GOOGLE_CAPTCHA_URL=https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify

Migration and Seeders run

After creating database and updating .env file run below commands

> node_modules/.bin/sequelize db:migrate
> node_modules/.bin/sequelize db:seed:all

Migration will create table users and seed some default users

• users - this is normal user table with some required fields like (firstName, lastName, email, password, and isAdmin) Seeders will create one new client entry in application and 2 users entry one admin and one normal user.

npm start to run your project

Everythig is setup and you are good to go now. Happy Coding :)

Other Information about setup/commands

Useful terminal commands

> node_modules/.bin/sequelize model:generate --name User --attributes firstName:string,lastName:string,email:string
> node_modules/.bin/sequelize db:migrate
> node_modules/.bin/sequelize db:migrate:undo
> node_modules/.bin/sequelize db:migrate:undo:all --to XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-create-posts.js
> node_modules/.bin/sequelize seed:generate --name demo-user

Git/Bitbucket Setup

> rm -rf .git  (Remove git folder so you can use your own git/bitbucket)

Middlewares

> ApiAuth this will check user access token that we have return in login response.
> AdminAuth this will check admin auth and it's access.

Routing files

Currently we have added 3 routing files

> pub.js   # public routing access everyone can access this APIs
> api.js   # only logged in user/ with vaild token user can access this routes
> admin.js # only admin can access with valid token

Example APIs

here attached link of postman collection you can download and check in local https://www.getpostman.com/collections/4d415740f37a864d9afc
