Introduction

This is a sample application which contains web/mobile and server code in a single repository (Mono Repo approach). Following are some goals of this application

1. Mono repo.
2. Lets to have common functional logic / common utilities shared across server and client code.
3. Lets you to have completely different UI for web and mobile. Or you can share the some parts of UI or Similar/Same UI.

Following are some of drawbacks

1. Sharing either server or client code with some of the other team members
2. Deployment cycle
3. More prone to conflicts

Features

1. Express server -nodejs application
2. Server with CORS support
3. API integration tests with jest and supertest
4. Can run on both mobile and web (tested on Android and web)
5. Supports svg image imports
6. Navigation for both web and mobile
7. Redux
8. axios and redux-saga integrations to deal with asynchronous actions
9. Supports both web and mobile storages
10. JWT based Authentication and middlewares

TODO

• See whether we can use Lerna to manage this workspace. (currently this was built using yarn workspaces)
• Replace axios with fetch
• Remove redux-saga integration and add custom api middleware to handle asyn operations
• Reorganize components folder structure.(replace views directory with containers/components directory.
• Upgrade react-navigation to 5.x
• Add typescript support and add corresponding typings in respective server and client files.
• Add Lint
• Setup CI
• Global error handler
• Theming changes (Im not at this)
• Add support for desktop(electron) version
• Replace current authentication logic with Authentication (Context) Hooks
• Write more integration test for API / Models
• Add front end test support (may be enzyme/puppeteer/cypress) - need to see if one is sufficient
• Add some example features to illustrate the useNavigation hook 
• Use asyn-storage from(react-native-community) for web version once they had stable release. Remove callstack web storage library.
