Novex Kit

Description

novex-kit is a monorepo template for building full-stack JavaScript applications, micro-services and frontends with NodeJS (version 24 or Higher). VueJS and ExpressJS are highlighted but end-user is free to implement their own JS/TS stack.

The folder contents are as follows:

• apps: userland backend and frontend application workspaces
• scripts: deployment, service mocks and documentation scripts
• common: shared JavaScript used by apps / scripts
• docs: for documentation

IMPORTANT! The apps folder is for userland content. E.g workspace codes, documents, scripts, schemas, etc. End-users please work within the apps folder.

Other files and folders are managed by template maintainers.
