Enterprise Application Boilerplate: Node.js + React.js
I'll create a comprehensive boilerplate for an enterprise application using Node.js and React.js (via Next.js). This setup includes:
- Modern Next.js App Router architecture
- RESTful API structure with Express
- Authentication system
- Error handling
- Logging
- Testing setup
- Proper folder organization
Project Structure Overview
This enterprise boilerplate provides a comprehensive foundation for building scalable applications with Node.js and React.js. Here's what's included:
Frontend (Next.js)
- Modern UI Components: Built with shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS
- Authentication Flow: Complete login system with protected routes
- Dashboard Layout: Ready-to-use admin interface with charts and analytics
- Responsive Design: Works seamlessly on all device sizes
Backend (Node.js/Express via Next.js API Routes)
- RESTful API Structure: Well-organized API routes with proper error handling
- Authentication: JWT-based auth with role-based access control
- Middleware: Request validation, error handling, and logging
- Database Abstraction: Mock implementation that can be replaced with real database connections
Core Features
- Authentication & Authorization: Complete user management system
- API Client: Reusable fetch wrapper for making API calls
- Error Handling: Consistent error handling across the application
- Logging: Structured logging system for debugging and monitoring
- Security: Middleware for protecting routes and API endpoints
How to Use This Boilerplate
- Start Development: The code is ready to run in a Next.js application
- Replace Mock Implementations: Replace the mock auth and database implementations with real ones
- Extend Components: Build upon the existing components for your specific use case
- Add Business Logic: Implement your business logic in the appropriate services
This structure follows best practices for enterprise applications, with clear separation of concerns and a modular architecture that can scale as your application grows.
