New Project Starter Monorepo

This project is a starter to kickstart prototype and spa development with a middleware and mongodb setup. Waste no time setup up a boilerplate instead put the energy in realizing your idea not wasting it into seting things up.

⚠️ NestJs is not deployable at Netlify at the moment so currently its neccessary to use netlify for ui deployment and zeit.co for api deployment.

The project uses a monorepo approach and contains the sources for the ui and the api.

UI

The ui uses Angular as framework. It is already set up with environment variables, Typescript, Prettier, Material Design, Router and useful custom, global SCSS Mixins.

./ui

Check out a live version running.

API

The api uses NestJs and works with the Zeit.co Functions, a wrapper for AWS Lambda functions. It also is packed with Typescript, Prettier and Hot Module Replacement for Development.

./api

Check out a live version running:

curl https://nestjs-now.capbb.now.sh

Start Development and Deployment

• Clone this project and create GitHub repository.
• Create a Netlify Account and connect your GitHub account.
• Create a site at Netlify
• Create a Zeit.co Account
• create a MongoDB Atlas Account

UI Settings

Build & Deployment

• Base directory: ui
• Build command: npm run build
• Publish directory: ui/dist/starter-ui

API Settings

Build & Deployment

• Add the secrets recquired for db connection under a local .env file in the root of api (see an example in .env.example)
• Add the secrets to zeit.co, eg: now secrets add DATABASE_PASSWORD <PASSWORD>
• Deploy by npm run deploy

Todos and Ideas

• Make NestJs work with Netlify
• Security: /protected route is protected by guard
• Security: /secure api uri is protected by api guard
