Slim & stateless version of the boilerplate

[danstn]

Cloned the project and didn't need any of the auth/db/models things.

Any thoughts on stripping those out and maybe creating a separate branch?

i.e. Static react app with routes and an empty need maybe, with no authentication and DB. Would be more suitable in a microservices architecture land perhaps.

Happy to write up a PR removing those things (not for master obviously).

@dzotokan Definitely!

This has been bothering me because it took me at least 30 minutes stripping it out that day.

Good thinking. Perhaps we only need to keep that branch up to date when there are webpack or config changes then.

I'm going to try to work on this guy. The refactoring here will mainly be in the server/ folder.

The easiest approach I can think of is to:

• abstract connecting + authentication + model creation into a different file - so people can easily comment that out if you wish to switch databases/not use a database.

I'll have a go to see how much work this will take + whether it's a good solution
