Meteor Starter Kit
The goal of MST is to give you a real-world foundation for your product. It's designed to be production ready from day one. The technology it uses is designed to be "scale friendly," though, scaling is up to you— that's impossible for MST to automate.
Overview
The Meteor Starter Kit (MST) offers a comprehensive foundation for building React applications equipped with GraphQL and subscription capabilities. Designed for developers looking to kickstart their projects, this template provides essential tools and configurations that streamline the development experience. With a focus on ease of use and scalability, MST is ideal for both novice and seasoned developers.
Features
-
Flexible Settings Configuration: MST includes three distinct settings files for development, staging, and production environments, allowing for easy management of environment-specific configurations.
-
User Management: Automatically generates a set of test users upon the first application start, enabling developers to test out different roles and permissions effectively.
-
React and GraphQL Integration: Built on modern technology stacks, MST leverages React for the frontend and GraphQL for handling data queries, ensuring a responsive and efficient user experience.
-
Streamlined Installation: Quick setup with npm or yarn means you can get started with minimal hassle, freeing up time to focus on development rather than configuration.
-
Scalability: The architecture is designed to grow with your application, making it suitable for projects of various sizes and complexities.
-
Documentation: Comprehensive guidelines are provided to assist in setting up and customizing the kit, ensuring that you have all the information needed to maximize its capabilities.
-
Security Considerations: Encourages best practices by guiding developers on the appropriate use of API keys across different environments to maintain secure access to services.
- Express
Express.js is a simple Node.js framework for single, multi-page, and hybrid web applications.
- Meteor
Meteor.js is a full-stack JavaScript platform that simplifies web application development by allowing developers to use a single codebase for both the client and server sides. It provides an integrated set of technologies, including real-time data updates, a reactive templating engine, and a built-in package management system, streamlining the process of building modern and scalable web applications.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Bootstrap
Bootstrap is the most popular CSS Framework for developing responsive and mobile-first websites.
- SCSS
SCSS is a preprocessor scripting language that extends the capabilities of CSS by adding features such as variables, nesting, and mixins. It allows developers to write more efficient and maintainable CSS code, and helps to streamline the development process by reducing repetition and increasing reusability.
- Material UI
material-ui adds classes to Tailwind CSS for all common UI components. Classes like btn, card, etc. This allows us to focus on important things instead of making basic elements for every project.
- 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.
- Formik
Formik is a popular form library for React that helps with form state management, validation, and submission handling. It provides a declarative approach to building forms with support for complex validation scenarios and easy integration with validation libraries like Yup.
- Graphql
A website that uses GraphQL as a query language to manage data fetching and state management. This includes features such as a strongly typed schema, client-side caching, and declarative data fetching to streamline data management and optimize website performance.
- React Hook Form
React Hook Form is a performant, flexible, and extensible form library for React with easy validation. It reduces re-renders and improves performance by using uncontrolled components and native HTML validation, making form handling simple and efficient.
- Redux
Redux is a state management library for JavaScript apps that provides a predictable and centralized way to manage application state. It enables developers to write actions and reducers that update the state in response to user interactions, server responses, and other events, and can be used with a variety of front-end frameworks and back-end technologies.
- Yup
Yup is a schema builder for runtime value parsing and validation. It provides a declarative way to define validation schemas with support for complex nested objects, array validation, and custom validation rules. Often used with Formik for form validation.
