Overview

As a developer who frequently interacts with boilerplate projects, I found this Node & Express boilerplate tailored for React and Redux to be a refreshing take. Its focus on structured communication and robust error handling caught my attention, especially since those areas often feel neglected in many other boilerplate setups. With a strong emphasis on TypeScript for both client and server, it stands out from the sea of generic templates currently available.

This boilerplate is not just another run-of-the-mill repository; it addresses common pain points developers face when starting new projects. The careful planning behind its architecture ensures that you can hit the ground running, with a stable foundation that allows for scalability and maintainability.

Features

• Working User Register & Login System: Seamlessly implement user authentication featuring registration and login functionalities, providing a solid base for your app.

• Typescript On Client and Server: Both client and server code are written in TypeScript, enhancing type safety and consistency across your application.

• Dynamic Controllers via Routing-Controllers: Use dynamic controllers to simplify your route definitions while keeping your code clean and maintainable.

• Service Injection via Typedi: Utilize dependency injection to manage services across the application, promoting better organization and testability.

• Shared Resource System: Easily share code between client and server to standardize communication and ensure data validity with a well-defined mapping system.

• Error Handling: Built-in error handling that automatically returns error responses based on validation, facilitating a smoother user experience.

• Logging System to Output to AWS S3: Maintain logs effectively by integrating with AWS S3 for easy access and management of log data.

• Mocha & Chai Testing Framework: Ensure quality and reliability of your application with a comprehensive testing framework allowing for test-driven development.

With these features in mind, this boilerplate serves as a robust springboard for web applications, and addresses many common challenges developers encounter when setting up new projects.
