Welcome to the Express Hexagonal Template! This template is designed to help developers build scalable, testable, and maintainable applications using Hexagonal Architecture.
Hexagonal Architecture is a software design pattern that separates the core business logic of an application from the external interfaces that interact with it. This separation allows developers to build applications that are easier to test, maintain, and extend.
This template provides a starting point for building applications using Hexagonal Architecture in Node.js with Express. It includes a basic project structure, configuration files, and example code to help you get started.
- Hexagonal Architecture: Separate your core business logic from external interfaces.
- Express: A fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js.
- TypeORM: An ORM that supports multiple databases and provides a clean interface for working with data.
- Docker: Containerize your application for easy deployment and scaling.
- Testing: Write unit and integration tests to ensure your application works as expected.
- Logging: Use Winston and Morgan to log information about your application's
The template is organized into the following layers:
- Application: Orchestrates the flow of data between the core business logic and the external interfaces.
- Domain: Contains the core business logic and interfaces(ports).
- Infrastructure: Implements the interfaces defined in the domain layer and interacts with external systems.
- Presentation: Handles incoming requests and outgoing responses.
To get started, clone this repository and run npm install.
To run the tests, run npm test.
To run the server, run npm start.
