This repository provides a modular pattern for structuring an Express.js application, promoting better organization, maintainability, and scalability. This approach is suitable for small to large projects and allows for easy extension and modification.

Project Structure

The project is structured as follows:

• src
  • api
    • module1
      • controller.js
      • model.js
      • router.js
    • module2
      • controller.js
      • model.js

    • ...
  • config
    • database.js
  • middleware
    • errorHandling.js
    • authentication.js
    • ...
  • views (optional)
    • module1
      • view1.ejs
      • view2.ejs
    • module2
      • view1.ejs
      • view2.ejs
    • ...
• node_modules
• package.json
• server.js

Features

• Modular architecture
• Well-organized file and folder structure
• Easy to add, remove or modify modules
