CodersCamp is an open-source monorepo that contains the internal application, public website, and development resources for a free six-month web development bootcamp run in Poland by the CodersCrew Association.
What is CodersCamp?
CodersCamp is a monorepo that organizes the software behind a free six-month web development bootcamp. It takes the bootcamp's curriculum and participant management needs and provides the code for an API (api package), a UI component library (ui package), a public website (website package), and an internal admin panel (panel package). The repository is maintained by the CodersCrew Association and its open-source contributors. The bootcamp itself guides participants from first lines of code to a web developer career through five modules: HTML/CSS/JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js REST APIs, React single-page applications, and a choice of advanced back-end with Nest.js or advanced front-end with Redux.js.
Key Features
- Monorepo structure — The repository is split into four packages (api, ui, website, panel) plus documentation, all managed in one codebase.
- Technology stack — Built with TypeScript, React, NestJS, Prisma, and Chakra UI, with event-modeling and event-sourcing patterns applied to the architecture.
- Component library with Storybook — The ui package includes a Storybook component library deployed at an accessible URL, allowing developers to explore components in isolation.
- Design mockups in Figma — Application mockups are available in a Figma file linked from the README, covering both the app and website.
- Automated quality checks — A Code Check GitHub Action runs tests on the api and ui packages, with coverage reported to Codecov using separate flags for each package.
- Deployment targets — The API is deployed on Heroku, while the documentation, Storybook, and website are hosted on Vercel.
- Education program integration — The repository supports a structured bootcamp with 6-person teams, mentors, module demos, and a final 24-hour hackathon.
Who is it for?
- Bootcamp organizers — CodersCrew members can use the internal panel and API to manage applicants, participants, teams, and module progress.
- Open-source contributors — Developers can contribute to the api or ui packages, with clear issue labels per scope (api, ui, website, panel) and CI checks on pull requests.
- Web development learners — While the repo itself is not a learning platform, the course structure and project-based approach defined in the README serve as a model for anyone building a similar educational program.
What can you do with CodersCamp?
- Track a multi-module cohort — Organize a 6-month bootcamp into 5 modules, assign 6-person teams with mentors, and review demo projects at the end of each module.
- Run a final hackathon — Schedule a 24-hour event where participants build an application matching business requirements from a partner.
- Build a similar monorepo — Use the package layout and tech stack as a reference for splitting an API, UI library, website, and admin panel in a single TypeScript repository.
