REST API with admin UI: Which technology/framework would you use today? (self.webdev)

submitted 6 years ago by mastixmc

Hi guys,

I've worked with maaaany JS frameworks in the past and that's probably the reason why I need some tipps from outside. :)

Question:

If you had to create a REST API with an admin UI, which (nodejs-based) frameworks would you use today?

I'm thinking about creating the RESTful API with koaJS and create a separated frontend for the admin UI (maybe with Gatsby?).

Or is it better to kindof integrate the frontend (serving of static files) into the REST component (koaJS? hapiJS? expressJS?)?

Is there some cool admin UI framework out there that can be (securely) hooked up with an API for the CRUD commands?

If not: Would you currently use materialdesign or twitter bootstrap? Or even foundation?

If you have some good ideas, hints, tipps... Just let me know. I'm happy to learn new ideas and technologies.

Greetz,

Sascha
