SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generate production-ready MERN web applications organized by domain modules, with shared domain logic, Clean Architecture layering, and story-driven tests across server, client, and shared tiers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Domain-first module layout: shared/ (domain core), server/ (Express backend), and client/ (React frontend) per domain.
  • Zod schemas and domain entities shared across tiers to ensure consistent validation and behavior.
  • Built-in story-driven test scaffolding and templates that map to a domain-focused workflow.

Quick Start

Copy the domain-module scaffold into your workspace and replace DomainName with your domain.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a MERN application with domain-first architecture?

Scaffold a MERN application by generating TypeScript domain modules separated into shared, server, and client tiers. This domain-first layout isolates domain core logic, Express backend, and React frontend while embedding scanner-backed rules validation.

What is domain-first architecture in a MERN stack?

Domain-first architecture in a MERN stack organizes code by business domain modules rather than technical function. Each domain contains shared logic, server, and client tiers to ensure consistent validation and behavior across the full stack.

Can I share Zod schemas between React and Express in a MERN project?

Yes, you can share Zod schemas between React and Express by placing them in the shared domain tier. This ensures consistent validation and behavior across both client and server boundaries within a single domain module.

How do I add a new domain module to an existing MERN project?

Add a new domain module by copying the domain-module scaffold into your workspace and replacing the placeholder with your domain name. This generates the shared, server, and client tier structure alongside embedded story-driven test scaffolding.

Does this MERN scaffold include test templates for domain modules?

Yes, the MERN scaffold includes built-in story-driven test scaffolding and templates. These tests map directly to the domain-focused workflow and span the shared, server, and client tiers of each generated domain module.

When should I audit MERN architecture for Clean Architecture compliance?

Audit MERN architecture for Clean Architecture compliance when adding new domain modules or reviewing project structure. The built-in scanner-backed rules validation analyzes the shared, server, and client tiers to verify domain layering.
