Creating a NodeJS project without frameworks in 2023

1. nodejs-basic-structure

   1 1 6 5.7 TypeScript

   This is a simple project using a few different libraries to create a backend API.

   

   Besides these configurations above, I also configured things like .gitignore, ESLint, .env, .npmrc, vite.confg, and the docker-compose.yml. All those configurations can be found inside the repository’s URL because I am not going to talk about each one here. (Repository)

   ⚔️ Declarative NodeJS web framework with REST API route auto-generation, DI, and decorators, build on top of Fastify and TypeScript.

   

   We are implementing the concept of controllers. As our application is very small, we just have one entity and just one file to centralize all routes of this entity

4. Prisma

5. vitest

   4 160 14,891 9.8 TypeScript

   Next generation testing framework powered by Vite.

   

   We are going to use Vitest for all the tests and partially we did the setup, once we installed the dependencies at the beginning of this post and also when we copied the vite.cofig.ts

6. Nest

   5 374 72,511 10.0 TypeScript

   A progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, scalable, and enterprise-grade server-side applications with TypeScript/JavaScript 🚀

   

   We applied lots of things, techniques, and patterns, but in the end, I felt good with the application that was built. Now I also can say that I am feeling a bit up-to-date with the technologies that this project involved and the way of building software without a framework, it also reminds me, why I like so much of using Frameworks…. go NestJS 💪🏼
