I think maybe use should add a package "concurrently" as devDependencies.
And change dev script like this to achieve Hot Reload as dev script.

PS: your command "yarn compile:watch" maybe wrong when include "src".

`"dev": "concurrently "yarn compile:watch" "yarn pre:dev"",

"pre:dev": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development nodemon --experimental-modules --es-module-specifier-resolution=node dist/index.js",

"compile:watch": "tsc --build --watch",`

An attacker may use the "forgot-password" request to know whether an account with the targeted email exists or not.
Whether the email is in use or not, the requestor should probably receive the same response.
Something like this:

export const generateResetPasswordToken = async (email: string): Promise<string> => {
  const user = await userService.getUserByEmail(email);
  if (!user) {
    // While it's an error, the form submitter will not know and will receive a pseudo-success message
    throw new ApiError(
      httpStatus.OK,
      'If this email is registered, it will receive the instructions on resetting the password.'
    );
  }
  const expires = moment().add(config.jwt.resetPasswordExpirationMinutes, 'minutes');
  const resetPasswordToken = generateToken(user.id, expires, tokenTypes.RESET_PASSWORD);
  await saveToken(resetPasswordToken, user.id, expires, tokenTypes.RESET_PASSWORD);
  return resetPasswordToken;
};

Describe the bug
When installing the project, the http-status and helmet types are missing.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Clone the project
2. Go to app.ts file
3. See types errors

Expected behavior
No type errors should be shown

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
router .route('/explore/:customerId') .get(validate(productValidation.exploreCrafts), productController.exploreCrafts)

Here's my route and here's what I'm getting in objectId validation value:

Expected behavior
Is there any way I can still use route as it is and only params gets picked up?

Adding this makes it easy to use the correct link in development vs production.
Also changing it along with the other options is easier.

Example:

const resetPasswordUrl = `http://${config.frontUrl}/reset-password?token=${token}`;

Problem:

When I try to dockerize the application the composing errors on the node-app part. No directory is created and nothing happens. Besides the console showing the key word error not further stack trace is displayed. So I would be interested if this is a general issue or if my environment is the issue.

Environment:

Device

Steps to reproduce issue

$ git clone https://github.com/saisilinus/node-express-mongoose-typescript-boilerplate.git
$ yarn install
$ cp .env.example .env
$ yarn docker:dev
