Overview

The Next.js Express Bootstrap Boilerplate is a boilerplate code that allows users to quickly set up a full stack JavaScript web application. The frontend of the application is built with React.js, Next.js, Bootstrap, and SCSS, while the backend is built using Express.js. The React code is isomorphic, meaning that the components are rendered both on the server with Server Side Rendering (SSR) and on the browser.

Features

• Full stack JavaScript web application
• Frontend built with React.js, Next.js, Bootstrap, and SCSS
• Backend built using Express.js
• Isomorphic React code, rendered both on the server and the browser

Installation

1. Install the boilerplate globally by running the command sudo npm i -g next-express-bootstrap-boilerplate.
2. Initialize a project in the current directory by running the command next-boilerplate, or next-boilerplate $FOLDER_NAME to create a project in a specific folder.
3. If a folder name is provided, navigate into that folder by running the command cd $FOLDER_NAME.
4. Start the development server by running the command npm run dev or yarn dev.
5. Open your web browser and navigate to localhost:9001 to verify that the application is running.
6. Start coding!

Alternate installation:

1. Clone the repository by running the command git clone https://github.com/MustansirZia/next-express-bootstrap-boilerplate.
2. Navigate into the cloned repository by running the command cd next-express-bootstrap-boilerplate.
3. Remove the Git repository by running the command rm -rf .git.
4. Install the required dependencies by running the command npm i or yarn.

Summary

The Next.js Express Bootstrap Boilerplate is a useful tool for quickly setting up a full stack JavaScript web application. It provides a boilerplate code with a frontend built using React.js, Next.js, Bootstrap, and SCSS, and a backend built using Express.js. The React components are rendered both on the server and the browser, thanks to the isomorphic nature of the code. The installation process is straightforward, allowing users to quickly get started with their development. Overall, this boilerplate code provides a solid foundation for building JavaScript web applications.
