Nodejs Starter - Full-Stack Vue Argon Design

Hello Coders,

In this article, I will present the Nodejs starter that I'm using to deliver simple apps, mostly one-page, coded in Vue. The Javascript boilerplate code described here is not rocket science but helped me a few times to automate the setup phase for a new project.

Thanks for reading! - Content provided by App Generator.

Build from sources

The Nodejs Starter is built using a decoupled architecture, where the Vue Argon Design frontend communicates with the Nodejs / Express backend through secure ajax call.

To use and start this starter, a few simple steps must be followed:

clone, build and start the Nodejs Starter backend
clone, built and start the Vue Argon Design frontend

$ #############################
$ # clone and build the backend

$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/nodejs-starter.git
$ cd nodejs-starter
$ yarn
$ yarn start # backend runs on port 3000

$ #############################
$ # clone and build the Vue Frontend

$ cd vuejs-argon-design-system
$ yarn
