Node.js Backend Starter

Start your next Express API project with a lightweight, editable Node.js backend starter from CodeForge.

The downloadable ZIP includes an Express server with a JSON health-check endpoint, development and startup scripts, an environment-variable template, Git exclusions, and setup documentation.

Designed as a starting point for developers using Node.js 22 or newer, including Android development with Termux. Requires basic JavaScript and command-line knowledge.

This is source code, not a hosted service. Hosting, a domain, Shopify API integration, authentication, and production security configuration are not included. Cloud deployment compatibility has not been verified. The starter has not yet been runtime-tested.
