A boilerplate Hapi server example demonstrating web and API server setup with Node.js, Hapi, and Swig templates.
Hapi Ninja is a boilerplate example project that demonstrates how to build a web and API server using the Hapi framework for Node.js. It provides a complete starting point with server configuration, templating, asset management, and production optimization tools to help developers quickly understand and implement Hapi-based applications.
Node.js developers who want to learn the Hapi framework or need a structured starting point for building web applications with server-side rendering and API capabilities.
It offers a production-ready boilerplate with integrated best practices like asset pipeline management, cache busting, and clean project structure, reducing setup time while demonstrating Hapi's plugin architecture and scalability features.
Boilerplate Hapi server example. Node.js, Hapi, and Swig.

Uses hapi-assets and Gulp to handle CSS, JS, and image optimization for production, as per the README, ensuring seamless asset handling in different environments.
Separates frontend and backend code into public and server folders, promoting maintainability and scalability, as emphasized in the philosophy section.
Includes Supervisor for auto-restart on file changes and hapi-cache-buster for client cache invalidation, speeding up the development workflow as described.
Showcases Hapi's plugin ecosystem with hapi-named-routes for easy template path references, helping learners understand extensibility.
Relies on Swig, which is no longer actively maintained, limiting long-term support and access to modern template features.
Requires installing global dependencies like Supervisor and Gulp, and configuring assets manually, adding complexity to initial setup as noted in the README.
Does not include support for contemporary frontend build tools like Webpack or ES6 modules, forcing developers to integrate them from scratch.
