Overview

The MERN Stack boilerplate built on NextJS is a powerful starting point for developers looking to create server-side rendered React applications quickly and effectively. With a focus on efficiency, this boilerplate eliminates the need to set up a new project from scratch every time, enabling developers to leverage the strong capabilities of the MERN stack. The inclusion of a simple yet effective Todo app demonstrates the functionality of the setup and serves as a testing ground for routing and state management.

This boilerplate utilizes Node, ExpressJS, and MongoDB for the backend, while NextJS connects the entire stack seamlessly. The frontend is built with the latest React features, including Hooks and the context API for state management, offering a modern development environment that is both user-friendly and powerful.
