app.get('/', (req, rest) => {
rest.send('Welcome to my API!');
});
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(Running on port ${port});
});
4. Install dependencies.

npm install express nodemon
npm install --save-dev eslint
5. Add script to package.json

"lint": "eslint .",
...
},

"nodemonConfig": {
"restartable": "rs",
"ignore": [
"node_modules/**/node_modules"

It has +50k stars so pretty much covers a lot of goods
This is a really a good and detailed article on best NodeJs project structure.
Here is a detaied guide on the different best practices which can be followed for any project: tatvasoft.com/blog/node-js-best-pr...
What exactly is the "best practice" you are advocating for in this post? The use of
eslint?I was curious if he mistakenly posted early, draft or something. So i looked into his past posts. There's another one on react which pretty much is a project structure that uses css in js.
