Overview
Express-It is a production-ready Express.js starter template with TypeScript that eliminates initial setup by auto-generating configuration files and providing pre-built authentication, file uploads, logging and real-time socket support. The boilerplate uses Express, TypeScript, Passport JWT, Multer, Socket.io and Winston to help developers skip configuration and start coding immediately with a modular MVC structure.
