MERNQuick

MERNQuick is a boilerplate setup for building powerful full stack JavaScript applications using the MERN stack. This project gives you a head start on building your next big idea. It has a complete backend service with full CRUD functionality and authentication. The client side has a full React and Redux setup with examples to get you started quickly.

The MERN stack

MERN consists of 4 popular technologies:

• MongoDB: A NoSQL database used to store data as a JSON document
• Express: A serverside framework on top of NodeJS for handling HTTP requests
• React/Redux: A front end framework/library that provides a dynamic and interactive user interfaces
• NodeJS: A serverside JavaScript language for the server

I have written a simple to understand guide about SPAs, React and Redux explaining their purpose, how they work with some code examples. Read here.
