- Middleware: Includes common middleware such as body-parser, cors, and error handling middleware.
- Routing: Pre-configured routing step with examples
- Database integration: Demonstrates how to integrate with a database using Sequelize ORM.
- Authentication: Provides a basic authentication setup using JWT (JSON Web Tokens).
- Configuration: Environment-based configuration setup using dotenv.
- Logging: Integration with Winston logger for handling application logs.
- Testing: Includes a basic testing setup using Mocha and Chai.
- Docker: Dockerized setup for easy deployment and containerization.
