Boilerplate for building APIs with koa2 and mongodb. This repository is forked from Adrian Obelmejias' koa-api-boilerplate repository. It makes the following modifications:

Remove babel as a dependency. This repository is now natively compatible with node v8.9 or higher.
Replaced bcrypt dependency with bcryptjs. This improves compatibility across versions of node.js and across OSs.
Configured for Travis CI (continuous integration), Coveralls (code coverage), GreenKeeper (automated dependency management), and Semantic Release (automated versioning).

Features

This project covers basic necessities of most APIs.

Authentication (passport & jwt)
Database (mongoose)
Testing (mocha)
Doc generation with apidoc
linting using standard

Requirements

node ^8.9.4
npm ^5.7.1

Installation
