NodeSaas

Inspired By alecrocute'sflaskSaas. I've noticed SaaS bootstraps/boilerplates being sold upwards of $1,000 per year and I think that's fucking ridiculous. This project will be my attempt to make a great starting point for your next big business as easy and efficent as possible.

Libraries

Backend

• Node.js, obviously.

Frontend

• Bootstrap for the global style.

Structure

Currently, everything is contained in the / folder.

• There you have the classic static/ and templates/ folders. The templates/ folder contains macros, error views and a common layout.
• I added a views/ folder to separate the user and the website logic, which could be extended to the the admin views.

Setup

Vanilla

• Install the requirements and setup the development environment.

  clone the repository type npm i change .env.example to .env. You also need to fill all the variables you need to define database driver url (I personally use mLab)

• Notes

  Endpoint Url refers to stripe webhook url. You need to have a public url to access it. I personally prefer ngrok but you can use stripeCLI too. Stripe plan can be found on stripe dashboard. session secret is a random string for express session. Add ngrok url to stripe checkpoint hook.

• Run the application.

  node index.js

• Navigate to localhost:3000.
