Full Stack Boilerplate

The Tech

A Boilerplate is already set up for you with everything you will need to get started. This boilerplate is set up to use:

• React
• Redux
• Express
• Knex.js (SQL)
• Bulma (CSS framework)
• JWT Auth (Local)

The Migration and seeds for the users table, and all login functionality is already set up!

The mobile responsiveness is also being handled by some neat JS and Bulma classes, be sure to incorporate that view in your project goals!

Setup

Run the following commands in your terminal:

npm install
npx knex migrate:latest
npx knex seed:run
cp .env.example .env

To run in development:

npm run dev

To run in production:

npm start

Heroku!!!

Creating your app

Create your app with heroku create [name]

You can check that this was successful by running heroku apps to view a list of your apps

Adding postgres

Add postgresql (hobby dev) to your app at https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/[APP NAME HERE]/resources

Check that pg has been added by running heroku addons to ensure the postgresql db is on your app

Deploying!

I have created several npm scripts that will be useful for deploying your app to heroku easily.

To push your local master branch to your heroku app:

npm run h:deploy

Run heroku migrations:

npm run h:migrate

Run heroku seeds:

npm run h:seed

If ever you need to rollback, you can also:

npm run h:rollback

Ta-Da!

Your app should be deployed!
