Assume you wish to begin a new project in a safe and consistent development environment. In such situation, you may need to configure things like "linters," code style tools, test frameworks, git hooks, and so on. This blog includes all of the tedious configuration so you can focus on the fun part, coding.
The concept is comparable to scripts such as create-react-app.
I'll go over how to utilise and the tools included in this boilerplate shortly below.

embed The GitHub project contains more details :)

Starting a New Project

Install TypeScript Node and global TypeScript.

npm install -g typescript ts-node 

Clone this repository

git@github.com:shivamsingh478/nodejs-typescript-express-boilerplate.git

The cloned repository will look like this:-

Then Install all the dependdencies

npm install

Run the Application

npm run start

Build the Application

npm run build

Tooling

These are the tools already configured on this boilerplate:

• TypeScript
• Jest
• ESLint
• Prettier
• Husky
• Lint Staged
• Commit Lint
• Nodemon
• Docker and Docker Compose
• CI with GitHub Actions

ESLint and Prettier assure proper code style and practises.
Commit, Husky, and Lint Staged Lint guarantees that no files are committed that do not adhere to project requirements.
Jest is a test framework that includes ts-jest for TypeScript.
Nodemon is used to reload the programme when it is modified.
Docker is used for local development, and it includes a Dockerfile that creates a minimal image with gcr.io/distroless/nodejs.
