ISOMERA: The Ultimate Javascript/Typescript SaaS Boilerplate Monorepo for Modern Developers

Unlock the future of seamless SaaS development with ISOMERA, the all-encompassing Javascript/Typescript starter boilerplate monorepo. Designed for visionary developers, ISOMERA streamlines the creation of enterprise-grade applications by providing a robust, modular, and scalable foundation. Whether you're kickstarting a project with React, Next, Nest, or diving deep into TypeORM, Redux, and Material UI, our platform is your ticket to efficiency. Beyond a mere boilerplate, ISOMERA offers comprehensive documentation, training materials, and a community-driven approach. Contribute to the revolution, join a community of like-minded developers, and redefine the standards of SaaS development.

Every developer understands the journey: starting with basic functionalities and, over time, integrating advanced features like 2FA, role management, or intricate middleware logic. At the outset, it might seem manageable, but as your project scales and evolves, these additions can accumulate into months of development time. Not to mention the effort spent ensuring earlier work seamlessly integrates with new features. With ISOMERA, this narrative changes. While not every feature on our ToDo list is immediate, our roadmap is designed with foresight. As your project matures, ISOMERA grows with you, offering advanced functionalities just when you need them. It's not just about the initial boost; it's about the cumulative time and effort saved over the life of your project. Dive straight into innovation, knowing the foundational and advanced are already taken care of.

Developing locally

Getting started

Environment preparation

You will need to install docker and make into your machine to be able to work on this project. All other dependencies are managed via Docker util images and ran via Make commands.

Using commands

You can use main commands the way you were used to, just with few small changes. Since Make considers flags as it's own flags, not arguments being passed, you'd need to add -- before flags. For example make npm -- -v. Otherwise it would give you version of make.

Adding node packages

make yarn add some-package

Using NX

make nx <whatever you need>

Using Node

make node index.js

If you need some other console tool, please modify Makefile and add installation of it to the node utils image at docker/utils/node.dockerfile. Consistency is important.

Running Tests

This is pretty simple, just

make nx run-many -- -t test

make nx run-many -- -t e2e

Running services

Run API locally

This will launch API service on port 8080:

make nx serve-api

This will launch platform on port 4200:

make nx serve-platform

This will launch landing on port 3030:

make nx serve-landing
