Express, Mongo, and Typescript Template Project

This is meant to be some basic starter code for an Express API using MongoDB written in Typescript. It has already configured Mongo, Express, Typescript, Prettier/ESLint, and Jest to make it easy to get up and running. Some of the setup is opinionated, but there is nothing that can't be changed in a new project. The goal here is simply to provide everything you need to get started quickly. Just fork the repository and go.
