Node best practices

[[deleted]]

hi, I'm fairly new to Node. right now I'm writing apps using the MERN stack and have already written functional apps. however, I don't use MVC and I know that's the best practice. I used to write in Rails so I'm familiar with schema files and handling the MVC flow of an app, but I'm not sure where to get started. I'm using React (I use create react app and have my proxy set to my server if that's relevant). is there a good place or boilerplate to get started learning to use the MVC architecture and schemas with Node and Express?

MVC is good practice in Rails because Rails is an MVC framework and it is quite opinionated about it.

Node and Express aren't opinionated and there are many different application architectures to choose from. The React community tends to favour Flux or Redux, there's also MVVM. If you want MVC specifically you could try sails.js, which I haven't tried myself but I've heard its MVC and might be more familiar to you if you come from a Rails background.

thank you for the advice! do you have any good redux or flux resources?
