Changes for v2

[danielfsousa]

I am planning on doing a big refactoring on this repo, since the last update was 3 years ago.

• Rename express-rest-es2017-boilerplate to express-rest-boilerplate
• Use postgres as database (Postgres is a more reliable database and better suited for general purpose use)
• Use Objection or Sequelize as ORM
• Rafactor RBAC middleware
• Use npm instead of yarn
• Change folder structure
• Replace apidoc with OpenAPI spec
• Use pino for logging
• Create a tutorial for deploying to kubernetes or a serverless platform
• Remove semicolons =D
• Remove Bluebird
• Refactor unit and integration tests
• Replace mocha, chai, sinon and nyc with jest
• Add prettier
• Update eslint-config
• Update node to 12+
• Update dependencies
• Improve README
• Remove unnecessary dependencies
• Simple type checking in vscode without typescript (I will probably create another boilerplate for typescript + fastify)

Hey @rayWille, thanks for the feedback!

It was a great experience creating this repo, I've learned a lot from it and I got my first programming job because of it.

I'm so glad to know that it was also useful for you and others.

Hi @danielfsousa, first of all, congrats on such a wonderful project. We are 2,3 people planning to use this repository for one of our projects. We want to use MySQL instead of MongoDB, Sequalize, and Swagger. As you are going to update this repository to V2, we can help you with that. If you want to provide some guidelines or suggestions about the code structure or folder structure, you can and we will open a PR incorporating those changes. You can review the PR and merge it if fulfills all checks. Thanks

@Usama-Tahir Cool! Thank you for your interest in this project. I'm busy this week, but I will create the issues with a detailed description later this month.

We could make it simpler and have both postgres and mongo repositories, since javascript doesn't have interfaces we could use duck typing and choose the repository via an environment variable.

Having options to choose from a CLI would be great too. I've created a CLI to bootstrap this project: https://github.com/danielfsousa/npm-templates, we can implement a way of bootstrapping the template based on the variables you choose.
