itsmunim/simple-nodejs-scaffold

This system is a Node.js backend application designed to manage user data and interact with multiple data stores. It provides a structured server environment with centralized configuration, logging, and error handling. The codebase includes utilities for database and cache connectivity, automated resource generation, and comprehensive testing infrastructure.

A new error utility module has been added to the server utilities, providing a centralized way to throw errors with the calling method's name included in the error message. This change supports improved debugging and error tracking by automatically identifying the source of thrown errors.

The application now initializes connections to MongoDB, MySQL, and Redis through a new \server/core/connectors\ module. This module dynamically discovers and connects to each supported data store, allowing the server to interact with these external services at startup.

server/core/connectors · high confidence

A new CLI tool has been added to the 'tools' directory to automate the creation of new API resources. Running the generator with a resource name (e.g., 'users') will scaffold a standard set of files including a controller, service, repository, model, and route templates. The tool also automatically updates the API's index file to import and register the new resource's route, streamlining the process of adding new endpoints to the backend.

tools · high confidence

Added two new shell scripts to the project: startup.sh, which configures Node.js memory limits based on the WEB\_MEMORY environment variable, and wait-for.sh, a utility to wait for a host:port to become available before executing a command.

scripts · high confidence

Introduced a new 'user' API resource under server/api, including a controller that returns a dummy user object, a route handler for GET /user/one, and a corresponding test suite verifying the controller's behavior. The API index was updated to register the user routes, and placeholder comments were added to facilitate future CLI-based resource generation.

server/api · high confidence

The repository is initialized with a complete project structure, including a Node.js entry point (index.js) and server setup. Configuration files are added for code quality and formatting, specifically .eslintrc, .prettierrc.json, and .editorconfig. A Dockerfile and docker-compose.yaml are introduced to containerize the application and its dependencies (MongoDB/MySQL). Additionally, a LICENSE.md file is added to establish open-source licensing, and a .dockerignore file is created to optimize the Docker build context.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The server now exposes a \start\ function to initialize the application, which includes connecting to all configured data sources via a new \connectors\ module. The server setup automatically manages graceful shutdowns and attaches common error handling middleware, providing a standardized way to launch and manage the server instance.

server · high confidence

The server core now includes a new bootstrapper that initializes an Express app with CORS and JSON parsing, serves static client assets (index.html and static directories), and provides a health check endpoint. A centralized error handler is added to log uncaught errors and return a standard 500 response. Logging is standardized via a new logger module, and a shutdown manager is introduced to handle graceful server termination on SIGTERM/SIGINT signals, closing active connections before exiting.

server/core · high confidence

The global test setup code (specifically the Chai assertion library initialization) has been moved from the root of the server directory into a new testHelpers folder. This reorganization groups test utilities together, making it easier to locate and manage shared test configurations and helpers.

server/testHelpers · high confidence

The application's configuration has been reorganized into separate files for each environment (development, local, production) and a shared default configuration. The 'index.js' file now dynamically loads environment-specific settings based on the 'NODE\_ENV' variable, merging them with the default settings. This structure allows for environment-specific overrides while maintaining common defaults.
