Introduction

This is a sample application which contains web/mobile and server code in a single repository (Mono Repo approach). Following are some goals of this application

  1. Mono repo.
  2. Lets to have common functional logic / common utilities shared across server and client code.
  3. Lets you to have completely different UI for web and mobile. Or you can share the some parts of UI or Similar/Same UI.

Following are some of drawbacks

  1. Sharing either server or client code with some of the other team members
  2. Deployment cycle
  3. More prone to conflicts

Features

  1. Express server -nodejs application
  2. Server with CORS support
  3. API integration tests with jest and supertest
  4. Can run on both mobile and web (tested on Android and web)
  5. Supports svg image imports
  6. Navigation for both web and mobile
  7. Redux
  8. axios and redux-saga integrations to deal with asynchronous actions
  9. Supports both web and mobile storages
  10. JWT based Authentication and middlewares
