While most "todo" demos provide an excellent cursory glance at a framework's capabilities, they typically don't convey the knowledge & perspective required to actually build real applications with it.
RealWorld solves this by allowing you to choose any frontend (React, Angular 2, & more) and any backend (Node, Django, & more) and see how they power a real world, beautifully designed fullstack app called "Conduit".
Read the full blog post announcing RealWorld on Medium.
Over 100 implementations have been created using various languages, libraries, and frameworks.
See the list of implementations on the CodebaseShow website >>>
Create a new implementation >>>
Or you can view upcoming implementations (WIPs).
Follow the instructions in the README of whatever frontend and/or backend repo's you want to get up and running.
Yup! We've built step-by-step tutorials for all of our stacks that teach you how to go from git init
all the way to the production ready application. Start learning now >>>
Forks, tutorials, workshops, and other resources based on the RealWorld project:
React+Redux / Node testing workshop by Kent C. Dodds
Example repo showing the React+Redux and Node stacks working together w/ TDD
Live recording of his workshop is available on YouTube
RealWorld React/NodeJS E2E Tests by Anish Karandikar
Includes E2E integration tests that use Chrome Puppeteer and Mocha and work with CI systems like Travis CI and CircleCI
Also demonstrates usage of Greenkeeper for automatic dependency updates and Snyk for vulnerability monitoring
"Introducing RealWorld 🙌" by Eric Simons
Every tutorial is built against the same API spec to ensure modularity of every frontend & backend
Every frontend utilizes the same hand crafted Bootstrap 4 theme for identical UI/UX
There is a hosted version of the backend API available for public usage, no API keys required

RealWorld wouldn't be possible without the help of the open source community reviewing codebases, creating new app implementations, and many other tasks that help push this project forward. We especially appreciate the OSS leaders who have helped contribute to RealWorld:
Dan Abramov (creator of Redux) for helping spark the initial idea, getting the Redux community involved, as well as graciously taking the time to provide feedback on the Redux codebase
Max Lynch (creator of Ionic) for taking the time to provide guidance in the early days of this project
Addy Osmani (creator of TodoMVC) for helping spark the initial idea and his amazing work with TodoMVC
TodoMVC (team & contributors) for their exemplary & successful work; their project & org has been an invaluable analogy for us as we've built out RealWorld
James Brewer (docs contributor to Django) for countless brainstorming sessions, helping name this project, and creating the Django codebase + tutorial
