MERN JWT Template

A basic JWT authentication boilerplate, using MongoDB, Express Sessions and TypeScript, along with React as the main front-end library.

Usage

First, clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/gantoreno/mern-jwt-template.git # Or fork the project
$ cd mern-jwt-template

Install all the server dependencies with yarn:

$ yarn install

Don't forget to install client dependencies too:

$ cd client && yarn install

Then, rename .env.example to .env and place your MongoDB connection string, JWT secret and session secreto into the file.

Finally, run the project using the dev script in the project's root directory:

$ yarn run dev

Happy hacking! 🎉️
