Hey everyone!
I’m excited to introduce MongoNext — a modern, full-stack starter template that makes it easier than ever to build e-commerce and content-driven web apps with Next.js, Material UI, and MongoDB Atlas.
I’ve just released it… it might be a bit rough around the edges and I’m happy to accept issues, and pull requests.
the repo.Maybe my brain isn’t working this morning and I already know the answer to this, but is there a generic REST API layer for MongoDB we can throw on top of it?
I guess I’m just being silly because there’s a JS kit for MongoDB and how could you express an aggregation easier in a REST API than just in the native syntax.
You’re not wrong… but for me - a lot of the work is around the front-end. Choosing the wrong frameworks for a full-stack app can (and has) led me down the path of hours of frustration. I found that this specific stack in MongoNext alleviates a lot of that… so I wanted a way to quickly spin up a workable site… largely with startups and hackathons in mind. This gives you some sweet frontend data manipulation tools via MUI and plugs nicely into NextJS app router for seamless front/backend work… without the bloody CORS nightmares.
how long did it take you to do this phenomenal work?
