Fullstack Project Boilerplate Code

This boilerplate contains the common code of Dashboard Labs' fullstack stack which includes the following:

• Apollo GraphQL Service
• Express Server
• NextJS
• Material UI

This project also has configurations for deploying on Google Cloud Run through Google Cloud Build and is easily deployable on a service like Heroku.

Why the suggestion to unify backend and frontend?

• Unify types in typescript (no need to update types on both repos)
• Singular build and deployment pipeline (lessens devops time)
• Singular setup for coding and managing issues
• Removes unnecessary NextJS configuration

What do I need to learn to use this template?

• npm install installs all necessary dependencies
• npm run dev runs the server in DEV MODE
• npm run build builds the server
• npm start starts the server in PRODUCTION MODE

Server will be running on PORT 3000 unless otherwise specified (through the PORT environment variable).

Where can I access my GraphQL endpoint?

Go to /graphql. The GraphQL Playground is accessible on DEV mode only for security reasons.
