Rest
Rest is a Node.js backend boilerplate and API generator that scaffolds resource-based server applications utilizing Express and Mongoose database models. It provides command-line automation tools to generate complete project directory structures, automated endpoints, and database schemas from the command line.
The system incorporates user identity management for account registration, password recovery, and third-party social provider logins alongside query parameter validation against defined rules. It includes collection filtering, sorting, and pagination controls for query endpoints, as well as automated deployment tools to push built applications to remote cloud hosting providers. Additional capabilities include automated API documentation generation directly from source code annotations.
