Simple Mongo Express React Node (MERN) web application

Key features:

• Typescript on front-end and back-end == Type safety ☺️
• TS-node-dev for watching and respawning node server on changes
• Mongo + Express + React + Node TS (MERN)
• Mongoose for accessing mongodb

Current Disadvantages:

• Have to write lots of boilerplate for CRUD operations
• boilerplate for writing queries/mutations

Future Roadmap

frontend:

• React + Apollo (no Redux or fetch needed!!)
• Styled components
• NEXT.js for server side rendering
• Jest + enzyme

Backend:

• TS-node-dev for automatic server restarts on code changes
• Connected MongoDB database
• Remove REST endpoints and MVC structure
• GraphQl-Yoga (apollo + express + node server) for implementing resolvers, queries and mutations
• GraphQl Code generator - used to auto create interfaces and schemas
• Prisma (GraphQl CRUD api = less boilerplate to write, Type safety, Data Layer Access, replaces TypeORM)
