Last year, I had to build a couple of simple Express+Mongo API's. For convenience, I used Docker Compose to set up the necessary environments.
I thought this boilerplate may also benefit others to quickly start developing their APIs.
The project includes:
-
docker-compose.yml
file for booting up a Node and MongoDB containers - a modified
Dockerfile
for installing packages and setting up ports for debugging - Nodemon to follow changes in projects
- Logic to connect to DB
- Example controllers for fetching data from MongoDB
-
launch.json
for simple NodeJS debugging in VS Code

Have fun :)!
