eser/hex-service

Hex Service is a service boilerplate to enable developers to start coding their forward-compatible backend projects immediately.

However, the motivation behind the project may sound familiar, and there are tons of boilerplates already that serve this purpose, hex-service allows you to run your code for both Deno and Node.js.

Since hex-service provides an orthogonal solution for Deno and Node.js code sharing, it's a perfect boilerplate for developers who want to be able to stick with modern tooling by using them immediately. hex-service simply runs on Deno's powerful ecosystem, which providers many developer tools and libraries built-in. Additionally, it allows you to compile your code in order to run on good old Node.js.

Features

  • Built on Deno and Oak. So it supports Modern Web APIs.
  • Can be compiled to run on Node.js as well.
  • Transpiles TypeScript and React JSX out of the box.
  • Separated middleware and actions.
  • Simple TDD convention and testing environment.
  • Ready to debug on VS Code or Chromium Inspector.
  • Ready to containerize.
  • [WIP] Development mode.
  • [WIP] MongoDB connection support.
  • [WIP] JWT authentication middleware.
  • [TODO] Built-in Swagger support.

Quick start

Ensure that Deno or Node.js is installed on your system first.

Clone this git repo git clone https://github.com/eserozvataf/hex-service.git - and checkout the tagged release you'd like to use.

Important: local env files (i.e., .env.local) is git-ignored, so you can have secret your sensitive environment variables by creating local copies of environment variables before running the service.
