node-express-mongodb-jwt-rest-api-skeleton

This is a basic API REST skeleton written on JavaScript using async/await. Great for building a starter web API for your front-end (Android, iOS, Vue, react, angular, or anything that can consume an API). Demo of frontend in VueJS here: https://github.com/davellanedam/vue-skeleton-mvp. Maintained by davellanedam on GitHub, where it has earned 910 stars from the community.

It's actively developed around api, async-await, chai, and is a solid reference for anyone building with these tools.
