Create Express MongoDB TypeScript Starter (v1.0.8) is a CLI scaffolding tool that generates a production-ready Express + MongoDB + TypeScript application with built-in security, validation (Zod), logging (Pino), Swagger docs, and error handling. It targets Node >=18 and provides a structured project following best practices. It differentiates itself from other starters by bundling Mongoose 8, Express 5, Zod schemas, and a clean modular architecture out of the box. Releases are infrequent; the package is stable but not actively updated.

default

✓ npx create-express-mongodb-ts-starter my-app

npx create-express-mongodb-ts-starter my-app cd my-app cp .env.example .env # Edit .env with your MongoDB URI and other settings npm install npm run dev

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe npx command will create a folder named 'my-app' in the current directory; ensure no folder with that name already exists.

fix

Use a different project name or delete existing folder.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe generated .env file is not created automatically; you must copy .env.example to .env manually.

fix

Run 'cp .env.example .env' after scaffolding.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaNode.js version must be >=18.0.0; older versions will cause errors.

fix

Upgrade Node.js to v18+ or use nvm to switch.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaMongoose 8 requires MongoDB 5.0 or later; older MongoDB versions are not supported.

fix

Ensure your MongoDB instance is at least version 5.0.

affects: >=1.0.0
