Example Node.Js (Koa.js + Knex) codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the RealWorld spec and API.

This repo is functionality complete — PRs and issues welcome!

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged fullstack application built with Koa.js + Knex including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.

We've gone to great lengths to adhere to the Koa.js + Knex community styleguides & best practices.

For more information on how to this works with other frontends/backends, head over to the RealWorld repo.
