My personal MERN stack starter boilerplate, so I dont have to type it every time from scratch. It is optimized for React single page app, as if you would not use single page app then Next.je is better suggestion. I added simple but efective Todo app just to show all features annd to have setup and test all the routes, and react state management.

Node, ExpressJs and MongoDB in backend.

Frontend is latest React with Hooks, useContext with useReducer instead of Redux. Css Modules and css variables included.

Clone this project with git clone https://github.com/drejcreative/mern-boilerplate-2020.git

After it install all backend dependencies with yarn

Then run the same command in client folder to install all frontend dependencies

Change mongoDB url to your one in config.env file

Run yarn run server for a dev server.

Run npm run client to start react app, or run yarn start in client folder. It will automatically open your default browser and show the app. It has a live reload integrated.
