This repository serves as a template for a decoupled full-stack web application. The frontend is built with React Next.js and Tailwind CSS, while the backend is developed using Python Flask and SQLAlchemy.

Yes, you can just use the backend and delete the frontend or vice versa.

This project provides a starting point for building a modern, decoupled web application. The frontend and backend are developed independently, allowing for flexibility and scalability. The template is designed to expedite the setup process and provide a solid foundation for further development.

The frontend is located in the frontend/ directory and is built using the following technologies:

• React Next.js: A powerful framework for building server-rendered React applications
• Tailwind CSS: A utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom designs
• DaisyUI: A plugin for Tailwind CSS that provides a set of pre-designed UI components

Key features of the frontend include:

• Server-side rendering for improved performance and SEO
• Modular and reusable React components
• Responsive and customizable UI with Tailwind CSS
• Pre-designed UI components using DaisyUI
• Easy integration with the backend API

For more information about the frontend, please refer to the frontend/README.md file.

The backend is located in the backend/ directory and is built using the following technologies:

• Python Flask: A lightweight and flexible web framework for building APIs
• SQLAlchemy: A powerful SQL toolkit and Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library
• Swagger: An open-source software framework for designing, building, and documenting RESTful APIs

Key features of the backend include:

• RESTful API architecture
• Multiple environments support (development, testing, unit testing, and production)
• Database management using SQLAlchemy ORM
• API logging and response manipulation middleware
• Robust logging with Loguru
• Extensive unit testing coverage for services
• Rate limiting for API endpoints

For more information about the backend, please refer to the backend/README.md file.

To get started with this template, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository: git clone [repository URL]
2. Navigate to the project directory: cd [project directory]
3. Set up the backend:

• Navigate to the backend/ directory:

  cd backend
  

• Create a virtual environment:

  python3 -m venv venv
  

• Activate the virtual environment:
  • For Linux/Mac:

    source venv/bin/activate
    

  • For Windows:

    venv\Scripts\activate
    

• Install Python dependencies:

  pip install -r requirements.txt
  

• Configure the backend by following the instructions in the backend/README.md file.

4. Set up the frontend:

• Navigate to the frontend/ directory:

  cd frontend
  

• Install dependencies:

  npm install
  

• Configure the frontend by following the instructions in the frontend/README.md file.

5. Start the development servers:

• For the backend:
  • Navigate to the backend/ directory:

    cd backend
    

  • Run the server:

    python manage.py runserver
    

• For the frontend:
  • Navigate to the frontend/ directory:

    cd frontend
    

  • Build the CSS:

    npm run build:css
    

  • Start the development server:

    npm run dev
    

6. Access the application:

• Frontend: Open your browser and visit http://localhost:3000 (or the appropriate URL)
• Backend API: The API endpoints can be accessed at http://localhost:5000 (or the appropriate URL)
