Boilerplate Generator ✏️

It is a tedious task of writing code for full stack appliaction from scratch. Use these boilerplates for your next web application !!

• Steps to use the boilerplate
  • • Firstly, download Docker desktop and follow its instructions to install it. This allows us to start using Docker containers.
  • • Then run
      

      docker-compose build
      

      This spins up Compose and builds a local development environment according to our specifications in docker-compose.yml.
  • • After the containers have been built (this may take a few minutes), run
      

      docker-compose up
      

      This one command boots up a local server.
  • • Now Head over to indicated localhost ports in the respective Readme to see the frontend and backend running.
  • • Finally, to gracefully stop running our local servers, you can run
      

      docker-compose down
      

      in a separate terminal window.
