Boilerplate for a minimal web server based on Express

Quick start

• Install dependencies

npm run start-dev

Features

This boilerplate includes:

• Twilio client. Specify TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID and TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SECRET in .env file
• Sample route (/token) to generate Twilio Token. You need to fill in TWILIO_TOKEN_API_KEY and TWILIO_TOKEN_API_SECRET in .env with an API key
• ngrok to publish your server. Specify you subdomain using the NGROK_SUBDOMAIN in .env file
• dotenv to import variable from .env file
• cors to allow CORS on your server (so you can serve APIs usable by browsers)
• nodemon to relad express everytime you change a file. This is a developer dependency and is used only with npm run start-dev
