Node Server Boilerplate

Welcome to the Node Server Boilerplate! This boilerplate provides a simple yet scalable server to build, share, and manage content. Below is an overview of the project structure and its key components.

  - events
    - schedule.ts
  - data
    - database.ts
    - persistence.ts
    - state.managment.ts
  - services
  - connections
    - server.ts
    - sockets.ts
      - server.items.ts
      - sockets.player.ts
      - sockets.chat.ts
  - models
    - player.models.ts
    - database.models.ts
    - chat.models.ts
    - config.models.ts
- .gitignore
- package-lock.json
- package.json
- persistence.json
- tsconfig.json
- tsconfig.paths.json

Key Components

1. src/main.ts

This is the main entry point for the server. It orchestrates the server setup and initialization of various components.

2. src/utils

This folder contains utility modules such as constants.ts, security.ts, and converter.ts.

3. src/config

Configuration settings for the server are defined in config.ts.

4. src/events

This folder includes event-related functionalities. Currently, it features schedule.ts for scheduling tasks.

5. src/data

The data directory encompasses modules for handling data-related tasks, such as database interaction (database.ts), persistence (persistence.ts), and state management (state.managment.ts).

6. src/connections

This folder manages server connections and includes server.ts for general server setup, and sockets.ts with sub-modules like server.items.ts, sockets.player.ts, and sockets.chat.ts for socket communication.

7. src/models

Model definitions for various components are stored here, including player.models.ts, database.models.ts, chat.models.ts, and config.models.ts.

How to Run

1. Install dependencies: npm install
2. Build the project: npm run build
3. Start the server: npm start

For example usage with a private key: npm run start-example -- --k <private-key>

Technologies Used

• Express for server setup
• Socket.IO for real-time communication
• Firebase for auth and database interaction
• Node Schedule for scheduling tasks
• And other essential packages listed in package.json

Development Dependencies

• TypeScript for code transpilation
• Various @types packages for TypeScript type definitions
• Other development dependencies specified in devDependencies in package.json
