## 1. Project Structure
- Follow a modular structure:
/src
??? controllers
??? models
??? routes
??? services
??? middleware
??? utils
??? config
??? app.js / index.js
- Use environment variables for configurations (.env).
- Use config folder for database and server configurations.
## 2. Coding Standards
- Use TypeScript for type safety.
- Follow ESLint & Prettier for formatting and linting.
- Use async/await for asynchronous operations.
- Error handling using try/catch and a centralized error handler.
- Follow proper naming conventions:
- camelCase for variables and functions.
- PascalCase for class names.
- SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE for environment variables.
- Separate business logic from routes using controllers and services.
## 3. API Standards
- Use RESTful APIs with proper HTTP methods:
- GET - Fetch data.
- POST - Create data.
- PUT/PATCH - Update data.
- DELETE - Remove data.
- Use proper status codes (200, 201, 400, 401, 404, 500).
- API responses should be structured:
{
"success": true,
"message": "Data retrieved successfully",
"data": { ... }
}
- Validate inputs using joi or zod.
- Use JWT for authentication.
## 4. Database Standards
- Use MongoDB with Mongoose ORM or PostgreSQL with Sequelize/Prisma.
- Define schemas properly with constraints and indexes.
- Follow naming conventions:
- Table names in snake_case
- Column names in camelCase
- Use soft deletes instead of hard deletes (isDeleted: boolean).

## 5. Security Practices
- Use helmet and cors middleware.
- Prevent SQL/NoSQL injections using parameterized queries.
- Use bcrypt for password hashing.
- Set proper CORS policies.
- Avoid exposing sensitive information in API responses.
## 8. Testing Standards
- Write unit tests using Jest or Mocha + Chai.
- Perform API testing with Supertest.
- Maintain test coverage reports.
## 9. Documentation
- Use Swagger or Postman for API documentation.
- Maintain a README file with setup instructions.
Following these standards ensures maintainability, scalability, and security for Node.js applications.
