vite-mern-template

Simple opinionated boilerplate for MERN stack with Vite, Redux Toolkit and TypeScript.

This includes React+TypeScript with familiar configuration for vite.config.ts for front-end and Express+TypeScript for back-end.

Feel free to add or tweak the setup as needed.

This has been created with the official Vite template (npm create vite@latest) and some extended setup. There are two separate folders called backend and frontend. The entry point for the backend is backend/src/index.js.

Any package manager can be used with this project (e.g. npm or yarn or pnpm).

If you love this boilerplate, give it a star, you will be a ray of sunshine in our lives :)

Thanks to awesome-vite for publishing this project.
