A sample full-stack project built with React, Node.js, TypeScript, Storybook, and Jest.
FullStackForge serves as a reference for setting up a full-stack project using modern web development technologies. It demonstrates a practical approach to building maintainable and scalable applications.
Here’s an overview of the key technologies used and why they were chosen:
-
Frontend:
- React: Chosen for its ability to create dynamic and responsive user interfaces. React's component-based architecture promotes reusability and simplifies the development process.
- Storybook: Employed to build and test UI components in isolation, ensuring that each component is well-documented and behaves as expected across different states.
-
Backend:
- Node.js: Selected for its non-blocking, event-driven architecture, which makes it ideal for building fast and scalable server-side applications.
- Express: A minimalist framework for Node.js that simplifies the creation of robust APIs and web applications.
-
Testing:
- Jest: Integrated as the testing framework to ensure code quality through comprehensive unit and integration tests, enabling confidence in the application’s stability and performance.
-
TypeScript: Used across both the frontend and backend for type safety, enhancing code reliability and maintainability by catching potential errors at compile time.
