React-Structure-Package-Backend

• Before you start create this first:

mkdir name-of-your-project
# follow prompts
cd your-new-project-directory

• And then run this:

npx @mhmurad/respa-back init

• Before you run your server do this first:

// index.js

// please check your own mongodb cluster and embed the only code after @cluster0.yourCode and put it in this uri and also change DB_USER,DB_PASS in .env file

// change the inside bracket() to {}.

const uri = ${`mongodb+srv://$(process.env.DB_USER):$(process.env.DB_PASS)@cluster0.yourCode.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority&appName=Cluster0`};

react-structure-package-backend(respa-back) is a Node.js package that helps you quickly set up a React back-end project structure with essential files and dependencies. By running a single command, you’ll get a boilerplate setup for a React backend app, ready to use with tools like ExpressJS,Cors,jwt,cookie-parser,mongoDB,dotenv and mongoose.

Features

• Automatically creates a standard React project file structure.
• Generates common files like index.js, .env,.gitignore and vercel.json.
• Installs additional dependencies like express,cors,jwt,cookie-parser,dotenv,mongoDB and mongoose.
• Saves you time by handling initial project setup and structure creation.

Created Files

• index.js: The entry point for the React backend app.
• .gitignore: Includes common files and folders to ignore in Git.
• .env: Includes files to ignore visible for users.
• vercel.json: Includes files for deploying on vercel.

Prerequisites

Before using this package, make sure you have:

• Node.js (v14 or later) and npm installed on your system.

Installation

To use react-structure-package-backend(respa-back), you don’t need to install it globally. Instead, use npx to run it directly:

npx @mhmurad/respa-back init

This command will execute the init.js script in the package, setting up the project file structure and installing necessary dependencies.

Usage

1. Run the Initialization Command

   To set up the React backend project structure, simply run:

npx @mhmurad/respa-back init

2. What Happens During Initialization

   When you run the command:

A folder structure will be created in your current directory. Essential files like index.js and .env will be generated with starter content. express,cors,jwt,cookie-parser,dotenv,mongoDB and mongoose will be installed automatically, appearing in your package.json as dependencies.

3. Start Using the Project

   Once the structure is created, navigate to your project folder and file (if needed) and install any remaining dependencies (e.g., enpress and mongodb) if they aren't installed by default.

If you have the structure and dependencies already in place, you can just start coding in the index.js file.

Additional Dependencies

If you need to install additional dependencies, you can add them using npm install as usual. This package sets up the initial folder structure and installs a couple of common dependencies, but you’re free to add more as needed.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Permission Issues: If you run into permission issues, try using sudo with npx (on macOS or Linux) or run your terminal as Administrator (on Windows).

2. Missing Dependencies: If express and mongodb are not installed by default, you can install them manually:

npm install express mongodb
