What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams avoid common pitfalls when building Express APIs, including route design mistakes, improper status codes, missing input validation, and inconsistent storage interface patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Route structure verification to ensure RESTful conventions.
  • Correct HTTP status code usage for common operations (GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE).
  • Input validation middleware integration to prevent invalid requests.
  • Storage interface abstraction guidelines to decouple data access and persistence.
  • Use Case: standardizes API patterns across multiple services to reduce bugs and speed up onboarding.

Quick Start

Install and apply the Express API conventions to your existing project to improve routing, validation, and storage integrity.
