How I structured my first Express App

• bull

  50 15,062 6.8 JavaScript

  Premium Queue package for handling distributed jobs and messages in NodeJS.

  

Next, I wanna say what I’m missing from Laravel, which is the Laravel job queue. So I managed to find almost something similar named bull for node.js but I want more features like retrying the jobs, scheduling them etc. which I couldn’t find. I would be grateful if someone can suggest something.

• Laravel

  352 76,808 8.9 PHP

  Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We’ve already laid the foundation for your next big idea — freeing you to create without sweating the small things.

  

It’s true that my project structure is pretty much inspired by Laravel because I’m familiar with that & I love the structure. So my project has two main directories “backend” & “frontend”. In the backend directory lies the express app & in the frontend directory lies the react app. The reason for this is I wanted to reduce the deployment complexity. So for the frontend Webpack is used to compile the react app & export it to a single file which I later include as a script in the backend(in an ejs file). Yes, pretty much what Laravel-mix does. The weird thing is project has one package.json file which holds both frontend and backend dependencies.
