It features a comprehensive login system complete with password recovery, showing great attention to both functionality and user experience. With integrations for notifications, caching, and AWS services, this template caters to modern development needs, ensuring both performance and reliability.
This template also emphasizes best practices in development processes. With tools for code analysis, testing, and commit management, it paves the way for maintainable and efficient code. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting, this template provides essential features that can jumpstart a project while allowing for customization.
Features
- Secure Authentication: Includes a complete login system with a password recovery feature, ensuring user security and easy access to accounts.
- Notifications Provider: Utilizes MongoDB for notifications, keeping users informed with timely updates in the application.
- Caching with Redis: Improves application performance by employing Redis for caching, resulting in faster data retrieval.
- AWS Integration: Features AWS SES for hosting email services and AWS S3 for storing user profile avatars securely.
- Development Tools: Implements ESLint and Prettier for code quality and formatting, promoting clean code practices.
- Automated Testing: Uses JEST for testing, allowing for automated checks and efficient development cycles.
- Version Control Setup: Configured with commitlint, commitizen, and husky to maintain commit standards and streamline the collaboration process.
- Express
Express.js is a simple Node.js framework for single, multi-page, and hybrid web applications.
- Fullstack
A fullstack boilerplate provides a starter application that includes both frontend and backend. It should include database, auth, payments, user roles and other backend services to build a fully featured saas or webapps.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
