Hackathon starter project for NestJS. Includes Prisma, email verification, Passport-JWT authentication, Swagger and more
This project contains boilerplate for creating APIs using Nest, a progressive Node.js framework for building efficient and scalable server-side applications.
It is mostly built to be used as a starting point in hackathons and implements common operations such as sign up, JWT authentication, mail validation, model validation and database access.
You can also look at my Angular Hackathon Starter template that shares the same contract with this API.

git clone https://github.com/ahmetuysal/nest-hackathon-starter.git <YOUR_PROJECT_NAME> or directly create your own GitHub repository using this template.cd <YOUR_PROJECT_NAME>.yarn to install dependencies.This template uses Postgres by default. If you want to use another database, follow instructions in the .
No download data available
No tracked packages depend on this.
If you wish to use another database you will also have to edit the connection string on prisma/.env file accordingly.
Template includes three different environment options by default. Most of the time you will use the local
environment when developing and production environment on production. You will need to fill out corresponding
environment files in env directory.
DATABASE_HOST=__YOUR_DATABASE_URL__
DATABASE_PORT=5432
DATABASE_USERNAME=__YOUR_USERNAME__
DATABASE_PASSWORD=__YOUR_PASSWORD__
DATABASE_NAME=__YOUR_DATABASE__
A secret key is needed in encryption process. Generate a secret key using a service like randomkeygen.
Enter your secret key to config.ts file. You can also the change expiration time, default is 86400 seconds(1 day).
jwt: {
secretOrKey: '__JWT_SECRET_KEY__',
expiresIn: 86400,
},
A delivery provider is required for sending mails with Nodemailer. I mostly use SendGrid to send mails, however, Nodemailer can work with any service with SMTP transport.
To get a SendGrid API key:
Enter your API key and sender credentials to config.ts file. Sender credentials are the sender name and sender mail that will be seen by your users.
mail:
service: {
host: 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
port: 587,
secure: false,
user: 'apikey',
pass: '__SENDGRID_API_KEY__',
},
senderCredentials: {
name: '__SENDER_NAME__',
email: '__SENDER_EMAIL__',
},
},
Mail templates are highly customizable and heavily depend on configurations. Enter your project's information to config.ts. Urls are used as references in the templates. If your mail verification logic is independent from your front-end application, you can use API's own mail verification endpoint, e.g. http://localhost:3000/auth/verify, as mailVerificationUrl. Otherwise, send a HTTP GET request to verification endpoint with token added as a parameter named token, e.g, http://localhost:3000/auth/verify?token=__VERIFICATION_TOKEN__
project: {
name: '__YOUR_PROJECT_NAME__',
address: '__YOUR_PROJECT_ADDRESS__',
logoUrl: 'https://__YOUR_PROJECT_LOGO_URL__',
slogan: 'Made with ❤️ in Istanbul',
color: '#123456',
// You can enter as many social links as you want
socials: [
['GitHub', '__Project_GitHub_URL__'],
['__Social_Media_1__', '__Social_Media_1_URL__'],
['__Social_Media_2__', '__Social_Media_2_URL__'],
],
url: 'http://localhost:4200',
mailVerificationUrl: 'http://localhost:3000/auth/verify',
mailChangeUrl: 'http://localhost:3000/auth/change-email',
resetPasswordUrl: 'http://localhost:4200/reset-password',
termsOfServiceUrl: 'http://localhost:4200/legal/terms',
},
