mern-ready 🚀

One command. Full-stack MERN with Tailwind CSS v4, JWT Auth, Mongoose, Axios — Everything wired. Nothing missing.

📦 What's inside?

mern-ready scaffolds a professional MVC architecture with the latest stack:

Frontend (Client)

• Vite + React 18 (Lightning fast HMR)
• Tailwind CSS v4 (Zero config, pre-installed)
• React Router 6 (Pre-configured routes)
• Axios (Pre-configured with auth interceptors)
• Context API (Ready-to-use Auth State)

Backend (Server)

• Node.js & Express
• MongoDB & Mongoose (Connection & Schema ready)
• JWT Authentication (Login/Register/Protect middleware)
• Security Middleware (Helmet, Rate-limit, CORS, Morgan)
• Error Handling (Global error middleware)
