Contribute a Node.js Couchbase Starter Kit

[hummusonrails]

Looking to participate in Hacktoberfest 2024? 👻

Here's a fantastic way to contribute to Couchbase's open-source ecosystem by creating a Node.js Starter Kit!

Couchbase already has starter kits for frameworks like Spring and Rails, but we're missing one for Node.js! This is where YOU can make a difference. Help us build a Node.js Couchbase starter kit to assist other developers, like yourself, in easily integrating Couchbase into their Node.js applications.

What You’ll Do:

• Set up a basic Node.js app that connects to a Couchbase cluster.
• Use the Couchbase Node.js SDK to demonstrate key functionalities.
• Include a sample .env file with necessary environment variables for connecting to Couchbase.
• Create a README.md with setup instructions.
• Configure deployment support for Gitpod and GitHub Codespaces.
• Add a test that verifies the connection to Couchbase using GitHub Actions.

Basic Requirements:

Your Node.js starter kit should include:

• [ ] Connection to Couchbase: With both Couchbase Server and Capella support.
• [ ] Environment Variables: Use the existing template provided in the samples directory of this repository.
• [ ] Deployment Configurations: Provide setup for Gitpod and GitHub Codespaces.
• [ ] Testing: Add a simple test workflow to validate the connection to Couchbase.
