Express Boilerplate

This is a boilerplate Express project.

Set up

Remember the steps below to initialize a new project using this boilerplate:

  1. Clone this repository to a new local project using git clone {BOILERPLATE-URL} {NEW-PROJECTS-NAME}
  2. cd into the cloned repository
  3. Make a fresh start of the git history for this project with rm -rf .git && git init
  4. Install the node dependencies npm install
  5. Move the example Environment file to .env that will be ignored by git and read by the express server mv example.env .env
  6. Edit the contents of the package.json to use {NEW-PROJECTS-NAME} instead of "name": "express-boilerplate",

Scripts

Start the application npm start

Start nodemon for the application npm run dev

Run the tests npm test

Deploying

When your new project is ready for deployment, add a new Heroku application with heroku create. This will make a new git remote called "heroku" and you can then npm run deploy which will push to this remote's master branch.
