Hey Yann! I've been learning NestJS and came across Stator. I was wondering if it's possible to only use the backend part of the template.
I think I would prefer to have my frontend on its own repository using NextJS & Vercel's deployment/preview URL tools.

Hey Kha! Even though the mono repository format allows tight integration of front end and backend, the project can be only used for a or multiple backend apps. All you need to do is to delete the webapp and webapp-e2e apps in the apps folder! Cheers 🎉

Hey Gabriel thanks for the reply.
If I only opt for removing the web app (frontend) parts,do I need to configure anything else? Do we still need NX for caching since the repo won’t be as big anymore?

[yann510]

I believe if you render everything server side you wouldn't need NX. Although I think it's a good idea to keep it in case you add a new project and you want to share code across those projets.
