Full-Stack React Projects

Folder and file structure

The following folder structure only shows the files that are relevant for the MERN skeleton backend. With these files, we will produce a functioning, standalone server-side application: 

| mern_skeleton/   | -- config/      | --- config.js   | -- server/      | --- controllers/         | ---- auth.controller.js         | ---- user.controller.js      | --- helpers/         | ---- dbErrorHandler.js      | --- models/         | ---- user.model.js      | --- routes/         | ---- auth.routes.js         | ---- user.routes.js      | --- express.js      | --- server.js  | -- .babelrc  | -- nodemon.json  | -- package.json  | -- template.js  | -- webpack.config.server.js

This structure will be further expanded in the next chapter, where we complete the skeleton application by adding a React frontend.
