vue-express-mongo-boilerplate

This project is under heavy development!!!

This is a VueJS webapp boilerplate project with ExpressJS + Mongo server. Not an out-of-box webapp.

Inspired by dstroot/skeleton and sahat/hackathon-starter

This is just my personal boilerplate, it may or may not be a good fit for your project(s).

If you like my work, please donate. Thank you!
