Ask HN: Example of good Node.js project?

11 points by edge17 6y ago ↗ HN

Node isn't the most familiar language to me. Is there an example of a project that could be considered to embody good practice with modern syntax? Good practices mean things like (but not limited to):

- Proper error handling

- Proper logging

- Good modularization

- Good documentation practice

- etc

I've been programming for the better part of two decades so I sort of know what I'm looking for. The node landscape is full of advice, I'm just looking for something that could be considered a 'model' project to use as a guide/example for starting a new project. One of the things I am most interested in is error handling and logging for long running processes.

You could always use the real world example demo as an example: https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld/blob/master/README....

Also FrontendMasters[0][3] has some great courses here's a few repos from an Instructor Scott Moss[1][2]. Though Frontend Masters is quite a bit expensive I find the training super great.
