MERN App Boilerplate

A nice boilerplate with pre-configured scripts and nodemon to make development and deployment easy.

File structure overview:

  • client: contains your React front-end.
  • internals: contains helper scripts for building your app.
  • server: your express backend, models, and controllers.

To begin, start in the root directory and run yarn setup. This will install all dependencies for the server and client.

To run: yarn start To deploy: heroku create your-app-name. Then push changes to your repository, then run yarn deploy.
