Here are some resources for learning Nest.js, the TypeScript Node.js framework with Angular-like architecture. Recommended resources are bold.

Three days ago I started a short tutorial on how to write a test-driven Node.js web API with PostgreSQL database. The excellent blog post is from 2016, but it’s still useful. I used Docker to build the application. If you want to see the example application as a dockerized Node.js/Express.js program, you can take a look at my GitLab repository. The repository also uses GitLab CI to build the container and run the tests with Mocha.

Project Structure Here’s the project structure for my application. Adjust to your needs. I used the Express application generator to scaffold the program. . ├── docker-compose.yml ├── Dockerfile ├── healthcheck.js ├── LICENSE ├── node_app │ ├── app.js │ ├── bin │ │ └── www │ ├── db │ │ ├── Dockerfile │ │ ├── knex.js │ │ ├── migrations │ │ └── seeds │ ├── knexfile.js │ ├── node_modules │ ├── package.

I’m currently working on a few micro-services with Docker. The architecture looks promising to me, and I like to play with Docker containers. Lately I’ve been watching a few videos about Node.js/GraphQL Microservices by Better Coding Academy. The tutorial series assumes a lot of knowledge (JavaScript, Express, GraphQL, Docker). I would have liked more detailed explanations. But the videos are still useful for showing the architecture of an Express/GraphQL setup with micro-services.

Today I’ve tried to update one of my Docker apps that uses React, Enzyme, and Jest. This lead me on a wild goose chase about react-test-renderer and best practices for Docker builds for Node.js. I’m still not sure where the problem is (Enzyme, maybe?). But I found three useful resources for Docker and Node.js: Docker and Node.js Best Practices Node + Docker Hello World, for Showing Good Defaults for Using Node.
