+# nodejs-starter-project
+
+Author - Akhil Sharma
+
+Just the right number of packages to get started with the most common nodejs projects - ToDos, CRUDs, ecommerce - anything that requires you to work with 
+1. Express 
+2. MongoDB 
+3. JWT Authentication
+This saves about 20 minutes starting time to install and check the right set of dependencies that work well together :)
+
+- Also has nodemon for working in development.
+- Also has a docker file - which is generic enough to be used for more than 90% nodeJS projects
+- Also has the right project structure that can be used for more than 90% of ndoeJS projects :)
+- Also has the "right" gitignore file that you will need
+
+Don't work from scratch man!
+
+Fork this and use it and drop a star here bruh!
