rocambille/start-express-react

This system is a full-stack web application built on a single-server architecture that serves both an Express API and a React frontend via server-side rendering. It manages user authentication through magic links and handles CRUD operations for items, with all data persisted in a local SQLite database. The codebase is structured to support modular feature development, automated code quality checks, and comprehensive contract-driven testing for both the API and UI components.

Key implementations include server-side rendering with streaming, a SQLite database layer, and modular React routing with context providers. The period also introduced essential infrastructure such as CSRF protection, Git hooks, and dependency upgrades to modernize the stack.

About this page

  • The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 4 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit 3020da982c — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.19. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
