DISCover Program Template Project

Welcome to the DISCover Program Template Project documentation! This template serves as the foundation for all web applications developed during the DISC Discover Program, ensuring consistency and quality across team projects.

Overview​

The DISCover Program Template Project provides a standardized web application structure that combines modern technologies and best practices. It consists of two main components:

  • Frontend Template: A React-based application template with pre-configured routing, styling, and authentication
  • Backend Template: An Express.js server template with database integration, authentication, and API scaffolding

Why a Standard Template?​

This template was created to:

  • Ensure consistent development practices across all Discover Program teams
  • Reduce initial setup time for new projects
  • Provide a solid foundation with industry-standard tools and practices
  • Make it easier for tech leads to support multiple teams effectively

Tech Stack​

Our template uses a modern JavaScript/TypeScript stack:

Frontend​

  • React for UI components
  • React Router v7 for navigation
  • styled-components for styling
  • Supabase for authentication

Backend​

  • Node.js and Express for the server
  • PostgreSQL (via Supabase) for database
  • ESLint and Prettier for code formatting

Development Tools​

  • Git for version control
  • VS Code as the recommended editor
  • ESLint + Prettier for consistent code formatting
