cypress-realworld-app VS Blitz

Cypress documentation

The full source code of the examples shown in this article can be found here. The example web app is based on the react-note-taking-app built on top of the T3 Stack. The Cypress tests and configuration are based on the best practices documented in the cypress-realworld-app.

I’d encourage you to look at https://docs.cypress.io

Cypress is a modern, automated testing suite. It's a fully open source testing framework based on JavaScript and is built with libraries like Mocha and Chai that support BDD and TDD assertion styles. Further, using Cypress will be easy if you’re familiar with writing tests in JavaScript.

It's mainly about showing Cypress (which is something like Selenium or Playwright or what have you) but integrates it into a real world example with commonly used tools and frameworks.

I think the Cypress documentation is absolutely great:

https://docs.cypress.io/

One of the better things about cypress are how they create so many how-to guides for a variety of scenarios. Take implementing Cypress into a CI runners, they have guides on how to effectively use it nearly everywhere:

In addition, we have also prepared over 30+ examples of real-world tests against the Real World App. This application has been around for a couple of years now, but since it contains some rather advanced concepts and examples, much of it was beyond reach for people just getting started. To solve this problem we have written in-depth articles for every example which explains line by line what each test is doing.

Cypress.io is just a test runner, but it can be paired with Testomat.io, a test management system for automated tests. Let's see how Testomat.io can answer the questions risen above. We will use Cypress Realworld App as you might have guessed, this is a good example of a project with well-written Cypress tests.

Blitz is also an open-source project that allows users to access the code and allows to contribute. Their community has generated a lot of impact as well, and has grown rapidly over time since the creation in 2020:

Not yet, I actually just whipped it up quickly last week after I was browsing the Notion subreddit and it reminded me of myspace.

Hello, I'm the creator of Blitz.js (first announced 2.5 years ago)

Today the Blitz.js 2.0 pivot to a modular Next.js toolkit reached Beta status [1]

Previously Blitz abstracted Next.js, but Blitz 2.0 is now a modular toolkit that plugs into any new or existing Next.js app. Blitz picks up where Next.js leaves off, providing libraries and conventions for shipping and scaling small to large apps.

When I first created Blitz, my aim was to have an all-in-one fullstack framework for Javascript like Ruby on Rails. But that proved to be too difficult. I've decided that achieving an all-in-one framework for JS like Rails is too difficult unless you have a ton of funding and don't have to make meaningful money.

The difference with JS is that client-side frameworks like React have an incredible amount of complexity. Trying to manage all of that and all the other fullstack framework stuff like API layers, auth, file uploads, etc is too large of scope.

So now Blitz is no longer trying to do it all and is focusing on all the non-frontend functionality you need to ship web apps.

Going forward, we want to be the most trusted technical resource for rapidly building and scaling full-stack TypeScript apps.
