Hello, my name is Damon Ye and this is a boiler plate for the NERDS stack!
The NERDS stack consists of :
Node.js Express React, Redux Databases with SQL (PostgreSQL, Sequelize)
Files are structured by specific domains, including the style sheets.
Redux files are named as such -- ComponentNameActionCreator.js or ComponentNameReducer.js
JSX files are explicitly labeled as .jsx files.
Testing is done with Mocha, Chai, SuperTest, and Enyzme!
Testing files are located in the directory of the specific component/container.
CSS is precompiled using SASS and directly imported into the js files.
Users can sign up, login and logout. Password encryption is done with bcryptjs.
Single page application style done with React Router.
Component-Container design pattern using react-redux.
Selectors are used to make state management easier and are placed in reducer files.
Sync action creators, async action creators, and constants are placed in the action creator files.
A seed file seed.js is included to easily create seed data.
If you want to modify the NERDS Starter Pack to your liking Fork and then modify it to your liking!
If you want to use this to jumpstart your apps clone this repository and off you go!
To install the dependencies
npm install
// OR
yarn install
To create the database first go into the package.json in the db-init script change name_of_db to whatever you want the name of the database to be. Then go into server/model/_db.js and put that name for name_of_db` in that file. Then to create your database (Make sure you have Postgres running!)
npm run db-init
Then seed the database (Random data with Fakerjs)
npm run seed
Start webpack
npm run build
To run the tests
npm test
To start the server
npm start
Then go to http://localhost:1337/ to make sure everything is working correctly.
Happy App building!
seed.js generates random users with one default user for testing. You can sign in with the test user at
