Note: this is my v1 boilerplate for React web apps. See also my Firebase and React Hooks boilerplate, GraphQL + Postgres SQL boilerplate, and Redux + REST + Postgres SQL boilerplate.
This template is based on nextjs-express-boilerplate, but with added mongoose-crudify and redux-api.
Did you or your company find nextjs-express-mongoose-crudify-boilerplate useful? Please consider giving a small donation, it helps me spend more time on open-source projects:
This is a great starting point for a any project where you want React + Redux (with server-side rendering, powered by Next.js) as frontend and Express/MongoDB as a REST API backend. Lightning fast, all JavaScript.
- Simple REST API routes with MongoDB database and
mongoose-crudify. - Redux REST support with
redux-apiandnext-redux-wrapper. - Flexible client-side routing with
next-routes(seeserver/routes.js). - Flexible configuration with
config/config.jsand.envfile. - Hot reloading with
nodemon. - Testing with Jasmine.
- Code formatting and linting with StandardJS.
- JWT authentication for client-server communication (coming).
See nextjs-express-mongoose-crudify-boilerplate running on Heroku here.
This project now uses Redux and redux-api. See the no-redux branch for the (unmaintained) version without Redux.
