This is a simple template for an Express server with SQLite integration that can be used as a starting point for new projects.
To use this template, run the following command to generate a new project based on this template:
npx degit hossaini310/express-sqlite-templ your-project
This will create a new directory called your-project
that contains the files from this template. Next, see the Setup section below for instructions on how to set up and use this template.
The following steps are required to set up and use this template:
- Generate a new project based on this template with the command:
npx degit hossaini310/express-sqlite-templ your-project
- Create a
.env
file in the root directory of the project and add the variables from the.env.example
file - Install the required dependencies with
npm install
- Start the development server with
npm run dev
- Start the production server with
npm run start
- To set up your own SQLite database, you'll need to edit the
initdb.js
anddb.sql
files. - Once you've made the necessary changes, run the command
npm run initdb
. - Congratulations! You now have your own express server with SQLite integration.
This template uses the following technologies:
- Express: A minimalistic web framework for Node.js
- Node.js: A JavaScript runtime environment that allows server-side applications to be written in JavaScript
- npm: A package manager for JavaScript libraries and tools
- SQLite: A lightweight and fast SQL database engine

- colors: A library for adding colors and styles to the console output
- dotenv: A library for loading environment variables from a
.env
file - express: The Express web framework
- is-my-json-valid: A library for validating JSON objects
- morgan: A middleware package for logging HTTP requests
- nodemon: A tool for automatically restarting the server when files are changed
- eslint: A linter for JavaScript and TypeScript
- eslint-config-airbnb-base: An ESLint configuration preset for the Airbnb JavaScript style guide
- eslint-plugin-import: An ESLint plugin for linting import statements
- sqlite3: A Node.js package that provides a SQLite database driver for Node.js.
