Answer can be found on StackOverflow

A simple project that creates a basic REST API to handle MongoDB documents via mongoose package

Project structure

One gets used to some kind of configurationless setup, and having an index file in each folder allows one to import only the default, and have all objects named buy file name, so when adding a new model, engine or route, one only need to add one more file and do not worry about imports paths...

REST Client extension

It uses an .http file (found in the test folder) that creates a POSTMAN alike query with the VS Code extension REST Client

Demo

Run with Docker

you can easily have a MongoDB instance using Docker, after install Docker Desktop, run

docker run -d -p 27017:27017 --name mongoDB -d mongo:latest

and the application will then be able to connect via mongodb://localhost/<db_name> connection string
