CrudJS + Nest.js + Postgres + TypeORM

The CrudJS project implemented as a REST API, using Nest.js and Postgres.

What's this CrudJS thing?

Glad that you asked. CrudJS intends to be a resource for comparing between different approaches for people building Node.js-based APIs, by applying them to an standard CRUD project. In other words, it's TodoMVC for APIs.

What's the stack used in this project?

• Nest.js is a TypeScript-based Node.js API framework. It looks like if Angular and Express got physical. It's pretty knew and a bit rough around the edges, but Kamil Myśliwiec is doing an awesome job maintaining it.
• Postgres is a very well know Open Source relational database.
• TypeORM is an ORM built on TypeScript, so it makes it a natural choice for Nest.js projects.
• Jest is a testing platform from Facebook Code. It's easy to configure and provides out-of-the-box mocking and code coverage reporting.
