Current version 1.3.6 - A a production-ready REST API server built with Express.js using Better-Auth, Kysely with PostgreSQL and Typescript.
Express-BetterAuth-Boilerplate is a production-ready REST API server built with Express and TypeScript. It provides a complete authentication foundation (email/password, email verification, password reset) via Better-Auth, backed by PostgreSQL with Kysely as the query builder. The boilerplate is designed to be cloned and extended, API routes are intentionally empty, while all cross-cutting concerns (auth, logging, rate limiting, validation, error handling) are pre-wired.
This project is being created to provide a template for me and others to quickly set up a backend server in Express.js applications to avoid having to rewrite the same code for every project, to help focus on the unique features of the application and not have to worry about the authentication.
