React Node(Express) Boilerplate

A boilerplate with less configuration and more code. The intention of creating this boilerplate is to give a quick start in developing a react-node application with basic required dev utility and setup.

SETUP

Installation

1. Install NodeJs (10 or above), npm (5 or above), MySql (8 or above)
2. Clone repo git clone https://github.com/anandGithub01/react-node-boilerplate.git
3. Go to project folder cd react-node-boilerplate
4. Install dependencies npm install

Server configuration

1. Rename you /server/.env.example to /server/.env
2. Set up SMS API, Get free trial Twilio account(https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/quickstart/node) and update the key in .env file or if you want to skip this, for now, make SMS_API=false in .env file.
3. Create a new database in MySql, Update your database credentials in .env file.
4. Create database tables, npm run setup-db

Start the App

npm start

And we are ready, Now your react app will be running on 8001 and NodeJs server will be running on 8000.

Eslint setup (VsCode)

1. Make sure you update eslint.nodePath with local eslint installed path, somthing like this "eslint.nodePath": "/<path-to-folder>/react-node-boilerplate/node_modules/eslint"

2. Check in any file, It should work fine.

Development guidelines

I will create a detail document for this, but for now please refer auth module of client and server. Loader, API error handling in the client, App-level error handling in react app, and many other things are already in place.

Note: This boilerplate is not production-ready, I have covered some of the required configurations but still we have few thing remaining. The main intention of putting it open source is to give people an option to quick development start.

Documentation and some other stuff are still pending... Working on it.

This repo is currently on development for initial requirements. Open for getting any contribution. Thanks!!
