Overview

Building decentralized applications has never been more accessible with this Fullstack dApp boilerplate designed specifically for the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP). This innovative toolkit enables developers to create fully decentralized web applications using a combination of Azle, Express, NextJS, and more. Its streamlined approach not only simplifies the development process but also leverages the unique advantages of blockchain technology to provide robust and secure applications.

The provided setup guides users through every step necessary to get their application up and running locally, and the features included in this boilerplate are tailored to support seamless integration between the front end and back end. From REST APIs on the chain to SQL database persistence, this boilerplate makes it easy to harness the power of decentralization.

Features

• REST API on Chain: Easily build and deploy RESTful APIs directly on the blockchain for enhanced security and performance.
• SQL Database Persistence: Utilizes TypeORM to persist SQL databases on-chain, ensuring that data is securely stored and managed.
• NextJS Deployment: Streamline the deployment process of apps built with NextJS, enabling efficient loading and server-side rendering.
• ICP Identity Connection: Connect the frontend to the backend securely using ICP Identities, allowing for decentralized authentication.
• Local Development Support: Run the application locally with a simple setup process, facilitating rapid development and iteration.
• CSS Framework Integration: Utilizes Tailwind for efficient and customizable styling, ensuring modern and responsive designs.
• Command-Line Implementation: Deploy and manage canisters through straightforward command-line instructions that simplify operations.

This boilerplate is not only a great starting point for anyone looking to delve into the world of decentralized applications but also includes practical tools to ease development challenges.
