NestJS Starter Kit

Ultimate boilerplate to kick start an enterprise-ready NestJs application. This kit contains NestJs Setup with

• Integrated TypeORM@0.3 based database enitities and repositories with ready to go migration scripts and seeders
• Pino based logging with request traceability
• Bull (Redis based) queue setup and integration along with Bull Dashboard(based on Bullboard) to inspect queues/jobs
• Sample routing features, database and queue intearction features implemented as Health check routes
• Sample end to end tests and service unit tests
• Configiurable Eslint, Prettierc and Editor configs to maintain coding standards for teams

Getting Started

🖥 Environment:

• Node: >= 16.x
• Postgres: 13.x
• Redis 4.x
• Typescript: >= 4.x
• NestJS: >= 8.x
• TypeORM: >= 0.3

🔨 Pre-Setup:

• Make a copy of .env.sample to .env
• Create a new database for the app and replace DATABASE_URL variable in .env appropriately; which should be postgresql://<database username>:<database password>@localhost:5432/<database name>?schema=public

🛠 Installation & Setup:

  $ npm install
  $ npm run db:dev:prepare # runs migrations and seed
  $ npm run start:dev # starts local server
  # Health check endpoints http://localhost:6060/api/healthchk/status should now be up
  # Bull dashboard available at http://localhost:6060/bullboard

🤖 Tests:

• Tests uses .env.test dotenv file. So, Make a copy of .env.sample to .env.test
• You might want to create a different database for tests, once you create a new database, update .env.test's DATABASE_URL appropriately

  $ npm run db:test:prepare # runs migrations and seed for test
  $ npm run test # runs non e2e tests
  $ npm run test:e2e # runs e2e (end to end) tests
  $ npm run lint # run linter
  $ npm run format # prettier format
