Tiniest E-Commerce skeleton with microservices architecture with NodeJS. This is an attempt to cover basics of microservices architecture. Many concepts/tools are being used.

Please note that connections to MongoDB and RabbitMQ are made without authentication. Make sure to do the necessary changes to the code if authentication is required

• express for exposing REST endpoints
• jsonwebtoken for authentication tokens
• amqplib as a client for RabbitMQ
• mongoose as the Object data Mapper for MongoDB
• @nirangad/is-authenticated is used as a middleware for express to validate Authorization header for the token
  • NPM - npm i @nirangad/is-authenticated
  • GitHub Repo
• For input validation, express-validator is used
  • Reference: https://express-validator.github.io/docs/
• winston and express-winston for Logging. access.log and error.log will be created under logs folder
  • Comment/Uncomment app.use(logger()) in the index.ts of any service
• i18next used to handle localization in the API responses.
  • At the moment it supports only English and German
  • New languages can be enabled by updating supportedLngs in common\locales\localize.ts
  • New resources file should be placed in common\locales\i18n with <language_code>.json as the file name
  • German translation are taken directly from Google Translate. So might not be accurate
• All services are dockerized and docker-compose is used to spin everything up and/or shut it all down
