See how the exact same Medium.com clone is built using different frontends and backends
You can combine any frontend with any backend, because they all adhere to the same API spec
While most "todo" demos provide an excellent cursory glance at a framework's capabilities, they typically don't convey the knowledge required to actually build real applications with it — nor the real-world constraints a minimal demo never has to face.
RealWorld solves this problem by providing the same demo app for each framework, at a sweet spot between simplicity and breadth.
Join us on GitHub Discussions! 🎉
Over 100 implementations have been created using various languages, libraries, and frameworks.
Explore them on CodebaseShow.
These backends pass the full API spec test suite:
- Nitro + Prisma + Zod — TypeScript
- Django Ninja — Python
Create a new implementation >>>
Or you can view upcoming implementations (WIPs).
- Documentation introduction
- Every tutorial is built against the same API spec to ensure modularity of every frontend & backend
- A shared CSS theme is provided to build frontend implementations with identical UI/UX
- A shared E2E test suite is available to validate frontend implementations
- There is a hosted version of the backend API available for public usage at api.realworld.show, no API keys required — demo accounts are provided, and real accounts can't see each other
- There is an angular frontend plugged to this backend available at demo.realworld.show
