Package list

Package Description
ts-node TypeScript execution and REPL for node.js, with source map and native ESM support.
ts-node-dev It restarts target node process when any of required files changes (as standard node-dev) but shares Typescript compilation process between restarts. This significantly increases speed of restarting comparing to node-dev -r ts-node/register ..., nodemon -x ts-node ... variations because there is no need to instantiate ts-node compilation each time.
tsc-alias Replace alias paths with relative paths after typescript compilation. You can add aliases that reference other projects outside your tsconfig.json project by providing a relative path to the baseUrl.
tsconfig-paths Use this to load modules whose location is specified in the paths section of tsconfig.json or jsconfig.json. Both loading at run-time and via API are supported.
typescript TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript. TypeScript adds optional types to JavaScript that support tools for large-scale JavaScript applications for any browser, for any host, on any OS
cross-env Run scripts that set and use environment variables across platforms
express Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js.
email-templates Create, preview (browser/iOS Simulator), and send custom email templates for Node.js. Made for Forward Email and Lad.
nodemailer Easy as cake e-mail sending from your Node.js applications
ejs Embedded JavaScript templates
cors CORS is a node.js package for providing a Connect/Express middleware that can be used to enable CORS with various options.
bcrypt A library to help you hash passwords.
dotenv Dotenv is a zero-dependency module that loads environment variables from a .env file into process.env. Storing configuration in the environment separate from code is based on The Twelve-Factor App methodology.
http-status-codes Constants enumerating the HTTP status codes. Based on the Java Apache HttpStatus API.
i18next i18next is a very popular internationalization framework for browser or any other javascript environment (eg. Node.js, Deno).
i18next-http-middleware This is a middleware to be used with Node.js web frameworks like express or Fastify and also for Deno.
jsonwebtoken An implementation of JSON Web Tokens.
mongoose Mongoose is a MongoDB object modeling tool designed to work in an asynchronous environment. Mongoose supports Node.js and Deno (alpha).
randomstring A module for generating random strings
redis A modern, high performance Redis client
validator A library of string validators and sanitizers.
winston A logger for just about everything.
eslint An AST-based pattern checker for JavaScript.
eslint-config-prettier Turns off all rules that are unnecessary or might conflict with Prettier.
eslint-plugin-import This plugin intends to support linting of ES2015+ (ES6+) import/export syntax, and prevent issues with misspelling of file paths and import names. All the goodness that the ES2015+ static module syntax intends to provide, marked up in your editor.
eslint-plugin-prettier Runs Prettier as an ESLint rule and reports differences as individual ESLint issues.
eslint-plugin-unicorn More than 100 powerful ESLint rules
prettier Prettier is an opinionated code formatter

Redis

API Endpoints

Mailcatcher

If you're looking for an easy-to-use tool to test your email SMTP functionality, I highly recommend using Mailcatcher. Mailcatcher is a simple SMTP server that catches all your outgoing emails and displays them in a web interface for easy viewing.

To install Prettier and ESLint in Visual Studio Code, you can follow these steps:

  • Open Visual Studio Code and navigate to your project folder.
  • Press Ctrl + Shift + P (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + P (Mac) to open the Command Palette.
  • Type "Extensions: Install Extensions" and select the first option that appears.
  • In the search bar, type "Prettier" and select the first result that appears.
  • Click the "Install" button to install Prettier.
  • Repeat step 4 and 5 to install ESLint.
