Project Structure

The project follows a modular and scalable structure to maintain a clean separation of concerns and facilitate easier maintenance and testing.

📁 Directory Structure

• __test__/
  Contains all unit tests for the project.

• config/
  Holds configuration files such as logging, environment-specific settings, etc.

• controllers/
  Manages the HTTP request and response lifecycle. Controllers handle incoming requests and return appropriate responses, while delegating business logic to the service layer.

• events/
  Implements the pub-sub (publish-subscribe) model, useful for projects using message queues (e.g., RabbitMQ, Kafka) for event-driven communication.

• jobs/
  Defines scheduled background tasks and jobs using cron or other scheduling mechanisms.

• middlewares/
  Contains middleware functions such as authentication, validation, and error handling applied during the request lifecycle.

• repositories/
  Implements data access logic, including raw SQL queries or ORM-based interactions with the database.

• routes/
  Defines the API endpoints and maps them to corresponding controller functions.

• services/
  Contains the core business logic of the application, handling data processing and interaction with the repository layer.

• templates/
  Stores HTML templates used for generating PDFs, sending HTML emails, etc.

• utils/
  Contains utility functions, custom error classes, and helper methods that can be reused across the project.

• validators/
  Defines request validation logic to enforce input correctness and enhance security.

• tests/
  Contains integration tests and end-to-end (E2E) tests to verify the full functionality of the system.

🐳 Docker Support

• Dockerfile
  Defines instructions to build a Docker image for the application.

• docker-compose.yml
  Facilitates running the application and its dependencies (e.g., database, message broker) in containers.

• .dockerignore
  Specifies files and directories to exclude when building the Docker image.

🔐 Environment Configuration

Use the .env.example file as a template to define required environment variables.
To configure the project, copy .env.example to .env and populate it with the appropriate values.

📦 .npmrc Configuration

The .npmrc file is used to manage npm authentication tokens, private registry settings, and other npm-related configurations.

This structure promotes separation of concerns, scalability, and maintainability, making it suitable for production-grade applications.
