Simple JWT API

This is a simple API boilerplate that uses JWT for bearer token authentication. It is written in NodeJS/Typescript and uses MySQL for data storage by default.

The choice of the data storage system can easily be swapped with another SQL/NoSQL database as per project requirements.

The repository can be forked/cloned and used as a bootstrap for API development as all required authentication endpoints and logic have already been implemented.

If you appreciate the project, remember to leave a star! Thank you.

Contributions are always welcomed!
