Aqua is a website and user system starter boilerplate for Node.js built on hapi and MongoDB, providing a RESTful JSON API with signup, login, password reset, email utilities, and an admin area. It is the successor to the Drywall project, which has been archived and points users to Aqua.

Use cases

• bootstrap a nodejs website with user accounts
• starter project with signup and login
• user management system boilerplate with mongodb
• admin panel starter with roles and permissions
• restful api starter with authentication
• email templates with handlebars and markdown

When to choose

• you want a ready-made Node.js user system skeleton with hapi and MongoDB
• you need signup, login, password reset, and admin management out of the box
• you want to study a well-structured hapi/MongoDB reference application

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained code - the latest release is from 2017 and the project is abandoned
• you use Express or SQL databases rather than hapi and MongoDB
• you want a production-ready framework rather than a starting point to build on
