Description

This boilerplate will help you bootstrap your own Nest.JS/MongoDB/MySQL/Typescript API quickly with common enterprise configurations done for you.

Project Overview

• Admin.js
• Support ES6/ES7 features
• Using Eslint followed Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide
• Husky
• Commitizen
• MIT license and Code of conduct
• Docker
• Prettier
• Nest.JS 8

Features

Authentication

• PassportJS local strategy
• JWT authentication (using passport-jwt)
• Passport OAuth 2.0 strategy (for Google)

AdminJS

AdminJS is available to use if you select Mongo + JWT/Passport, on the route:

http://localhost:3000/admin

If you are not logged in, you will be redirected to the admin login page.

http://localhost:3000/admin/login

To login in the admin panel, you should have a verified user registered with the admin role.

To create a default admin user, run the provided migrations:

npm install migrate-mongo

npx migrate-mongo up

The migrations will create a default admin user in the database with following credentials:

login: [email protected]
password: String_12345

Note: admin can be generated only with mongo + jwt/passport

Roles

For now, we have implemented only two roles: user and admin

Usage example:

@Auth(RolesEnum.ADMIN, RolesEnum.USER)

or for all roles:

@Auth()

Note: before using it with sql databases, you must run migrations.

Serialization

Use @Serialize decorator to process the objects before they are returned in the network response Example:

 @Serialize(UserResponseDto)

use @Exclude decorator to exclude properties from serialization

  @Exclude()
  password: string = '';

Session Storage

• MongoDB
• Redis
• MySQL

Email Sending

• Nodemailer

Requirements

• node >= 14
• npm >= 7
• mongodb >= 4.0
• redis >= 4.0
• mysql >= 2.0
• typescript >= 4.0.3

Installation

First, install Yeoman and generator-nest-js-boilerplate using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-nest-js-boilerplate

Then generate your new project:

yo nest-js-boilerplate

Running the API

Development

To start the application in development mode, run:

npm run start:dev

Start the application in production environment:

Install pm2 and typescript to make pm2 work with typescript codebase:

npm install -g pm2
pm2 install typescript

Here is an example command to start the process with 2 instances and a load-balancer

pm2 start ./dist/main.js -i 2 --no-daemon

Express server listening on http://localhost:3000, in development mode In development mode will watch your changes then will transpile the TypeScript code and re-run the node application automatically.

Docker

1. Install Docker
2. Install docker-compose

To run your app in docker containers, choose "Yes" when the generator asks you about docker.

Now, spin up your app in docker

  docker-compose up

Set up environment

In root folder you can find .env. You can use this config as a template for your application.

Deploy

Heroku

Check all urls to databases if they are true, they must connect to dbs which located at them own servers like mongodb on Mlab When you'll run npm run deploy:heroku you'll need to sign in on heroku. You will be redirected to login form.

Check all database URLs to be valid. They should connect to their respective hosted instances (local or otherwise).

Note: you may need to sign in on heroku (if not done already). You will be redirected to Heroku login, if required, by the cli.

npm run deploy:heroku

Jwt auth

Oauth2 auth

To initiate the google sign-in, use http://localhost:3000/google. Once authorized, you will be redirected to http://localhost:3000/google/redirect.

Documentation

WebSocket API

TypeDoc

TypeDoc documentation will be available after entering the command:

npm run docs

This will build the documentation in a subfolder with index.html as the entrypoint. You can open the index.html in a web browser to explore the documentation or host the subdirectory using a simple http server like lite-server using the following command.

npx lite-server ./path/to/documentation/

REST API

Swagger

Swagger documentation will be available on route:

http://localhost:3000/api

Please note:
Users are not verified by default. Please set "verified": true, for sign-in request.
