nodejs-minimal

Node.js starter with minimal dependencies and tools.

Requires Node.js v13.13+ for default support of experimental ECMAScript modules (esm).

• Includes a development environment with:
  • Support for ECMAScript modules. Does not require Babel nor a bundler.
  • Restarts node automatically when changes happen.
  • Unit tests (via Jest) (Babel required to run Jest with esm)
  • Lint (via ESLint with their recommended settings)
  • Continuous Integration workflow with Github Actions
