✖️ 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.
