Node.js

Hello!

What are the best packages to use when developing REST APIs with Node.js?

For example, to raise the server, authorization, and so on?

Answer 1

Yes, everything is classic. First, express for raising the server (http, after https), for authentication, password hashing (bcryptjs), jwt tokens (for authorization), for validating passwords, mail, etc. express-validator. package for connecting to the database (if mysql then mysql2, if mongoDB then mongus)
