Colmena is a free and open source full-stack starter kit for rapid API development, combining a LoopBack-based REST API with an Angular admin interface built on CoreUI. It is structured as a lerna monorepo with extensible modules and packages for both the API and admin apps.
Use cases
- bootstrap a REST API with an admin dashboard quickly
- build a LoopBack API with an Angular admin UI
- scaffold a full-stack JavaScript admin panel
- rapidly prototype an API with authentication and ACLs
- extend a modular monorepo API starter kit
When to choose
- you want a LoopBack + Angular starter with an admin interface
- you need a quick prototype of an API with an admin panel
- you like modular monorepo structures for full-stack apps
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the repo was archived in 2020
- you need production-grade security - only basic ACLs are implemented
- you want modern Angular or LoopBack versions
