Overview
This boilerplate project is designed for developers who want to create applications using Koa2 and React without the constraints of traditional frameworks. For those who have intermediate to advanced knowledge of Node.js, this project allows you to harness modern application components while maintaining a consistent code style. It strips away the limitations imposed by many popular frameworks, enabling you to build unique applications more freely.
With this structure, you can hit the ground running, focusing on application development rather than spending excessive time on setup. This project promotes not only extensibility but also solid architecture principles that keep your code maintainable and clean.
Features
- Koa2 Support: Utilizes the latest features of Koa2, including async/await, making your code cleaner and easier to read while requiring Node.js version 7.6 or higher.
- React Integration: Combines React with Webpack for efficient frontend development, allowing for a dynamic user interface that scales seamlessly.
- Modular Database Options: Compatibility with both MongoDB and MariaDB/MySQL provides flexibility in choosing your database solution based on your project’s needs.
- Security Protocols: Basic security measures are included, such as CSRF protection, to help safeguard your application from common vulnerabilities.
- View Engines: Supports both EJS and Pug view engines, giving you the freedom to use your preferred template style for rendering views.
- SASS Preprocessing: Comes with SASS support via .scss syntax, allowing for organized and efficient styling of your application.
- Gulp Asset Pipeline: Includes Gulp in a disabled state by default, enabling asset management while avoiding potential conflicts with Webpack.
- Extensible Architecture: The structure encourages easy integration and extensibility, allowing developers to build their own models, middlewares, and policies without disrupting the overall code style.
