Running and reviewing unit tests is a great way to get familiarized with a library and its API. You can install dependencies and run tests with the following command:

$ npm install && npm test

Project intent

Nodstarter project aims to be like Spring Initializr to minimize the configuration for developing Node.js apps.

Future plans

We need to make the libraries dynamic and the programmer can choose what libraries want and how many rest APIs, models, Database engine and back-bone tests for rest APIs.
