I have MERN ( Mongo SailsJS React NodeJS ) app. After reviewing the code, there is a quite poor quality, pages are not well thought, and each change I would have to make in the future will be hard. Besides, I may want to switch SailJS for Express, and Mongo for Postgres ( still thinking ). The only good thing about this app is that it is looking good.
So, I'm thinking about keeping the HTML / CSS stuff, and rewriting the whole app.
App is not so big, so I will spend as much time as refactoring it but it will be cleaner.
I am looking for a OSS project that make it easier, I was thinking about a project that use those techs, and my christmas list is:
I could have my 10 existing models generated in a dedicated UI. It would be a better start, and I would only have to port my custom screen, I don't think I would spend so much time.
I found generator-react-fullstack, it is based on react-starter-kit that seems pretty popular.
On the NodeJS side, I found: hackathon-starter which gives pretty things, but it doesn't seems to come with react support
I also tried to start with awesome-javascript repo, it's a good help, but there is too much content; difficult to figure out what are the good options.
As I come from PHP / Laravel world, I don't know much about Javascript ecosystem. Is there such a magical starting point ? Should I proceed in 2 parts, front and back?
A bit of guidance would be quite helpful to start on a good track!
