mockBee 2.0: A Hub for CRA Templates

[sohamsshah]

Presently, users can install the mockBee backend-powered apps by create-mock-backend, but has few challenges:

• The versions would soon get old with time. Need to maintain and keep all the apps with latest updates
• These are technically CRA apps. But, if in future a new update for CRA is released; the present folder structure, approach or internal performance would get hindered.
• mockBee is aimed to have tons of mock-backends. Maintenance is major drawback with current approach.

Proposed Solution:

• Have individual package for each mockBee app and managed with package-manager such as lerna. Then, user should be able to install apps directly by npx create-react-app --template mockbee-social-media or similar approach. Also, if user wants, user can install by create-mock-backend and select their template which internally would do create-react-app --template selected-template.
• This approach would ensure that all apps are in sync with latest CRA and users don't get confused about create-mock-backend to be a different thing as the aim to let users learn Frontend with simplicity.

This Issue will be actively looked into and very available to listen to views and opinions for improvements or better approaches.
