Devlog - 10

So now that I’m continuing this project, I decided to use a admin dashboard template and adjust it according to my needs as the main thing I wanna show is my backend skills.

• So first of all I was using bun in the backend, I switched to pnpm (personal preference)
• Now I am using tsdown for building the express app.
• There was some issue in extended Request type so I fixed it.
• Also I was using a mongodb cluster free tier, now I am using a mongodb replica set on docker.
• Also the global rate limiter was applied on everything not just /api/v1 so fixed that.

Also I renamed both the repos to something short -> Bms-Backend & Bms-Frontend.

Lets talk about the frontend that is on NextJs.

• I am now using a template which includes a dashboard not fully complete for my need so I will be doing that, it had sentry, clerk and some other stuff, I removed that as It removed a cleanup script.
• Added the login form and attached it with the backend.
• I was previously using axios, but now I am using fetch and I am using a architecture called BFF (Backend for Frotend). So the client components call the nextjs backend and that backend calls the express Api whereas server component directly call the express Api so I created fetch wrappers for client calls and server calls.
• Added a logo for the app.
• Added proxy.ts and its logic
