Here are 5 Node.js best practices you should keep in mind if you’re starting with a new Node.js development project ⬇️
1️⃣Break down your solution into components.
Maintaining large code bases with several dependencies is one of the most difficult tasks for larger apps.
Maintaining large code bases with several dependencies is one of the most difficult tasks for larger apps.
On adding new features, it slows down production & development. The entire program can be partitioned into smaller components, giving each module its own folder & ensuring that each module is maintained basic & tiny.
2️⃣Component Layering
Layering is crucial, each component is created with ‘layers.’ These layers have a distinct object used on web, logic, & data access code. This allows a clear separation of performance issues & a considerable distinction between processes, mock & test codes.

3️⃣For a new project, use npm.
Npm init will generate a package for you.
The information for your project can be found in a JSON file for your project that lists all of the packages/node apps installed by npm install.

4️⃣Make an npm package out of Common Utilities
The same code is reused many times at different locations in larger app processes. This can be put into a single private package file and be used throughout the app. Npm install reduces code duplication making it easier to handle.

5️⃣Keep the ‘app’ & server parts of Express separate.
Many devs make this mistake: they define the full express application process in large files. Instead, break the ‘Express’ definition into 2 separate files. One for the API declaration (app.js) & other for network issues.

That's a wrap!
