The official website for react-boilerplate

Start your next react project in seconds

A highly scalable, offline-first foundation with the best DX and a focus on performance and best practices

_{Created by Max Stoiber and maintained with ❤️ by an amazing team of developers.}

Features

Quick scaffolding

Create components, containers, routes, selectors and sagas - and their tests - right from the CLI!

Instant feedback

Enjoy the best DX (Developer eXperience) and code your app at the speed of thought! Your saved changes to the CSS and JS are reflected instantaneously without refreshing the page. Preserve application state even when you update something in the underlying code!

Predictable state management

Unidirectional data flow allows for change logging and time travel debugging.

Next generation JavaScript

Use template strings, object destructuring, arrow functions, JSX syntax and more.

Next generation CSS

Write composable CSS that's co-located with your components for complete modularity. Unique generated class names keep the specificity low while eliminating style clashes. Ship only the styles that are on the page for the best performance.

Industry-standard routing

It's natural to want to add pages (e.g. `/about`) to your application, and routing makes this possible.

Industry-standard i18n internationalization support

Scalable apps need to support multiple languages, easily add and support multiple languages with `react-intl`.

Offline-first

The next frontier in performant web apps: availability without a network connection from the instant your users load the app.

Static code analysis

Focus on writing new features without worrying about formatting or code quality. With the right editor setup, your code will automatically be formatted and linted as you work.

SEO

We support SEO (document head tags management) for search engines that support indexing of JavaScript content. (eg. Google)

But wait... there's more!

• The best test setup: Automatically guarantee code quality and non-breaking changes. (Seen a react app with 100% test coverage before?)
• Native web app: Your app's new home? The home screen of your users' phones.
• The fastest fonts: Say goodbye to vacant text.
• Stay fast: Profile your app's performance from the comfort of your command line!
• Catch problems: AppVeyor and TravisCI setups included by default, so your tests get run automatically on Windows and Unix.

There’s also a fantastic video on how to structure your React.js apps with scalability in mind. It provides rationale for the majority of boilerplate's design decisions.

site's Issues

Broken Link: CONTRIBUTE.md

The link at the bottom of the page for Start Contributing is broken. I found it in the git issue cue but I think it must have been overwritten at some point.

react-boilerplate/react-boilerplate@cafd823

site hasn't been deployed

I think something went wrong with the "building" of the site to gh-pages, since the last commit there was in february, and online I see #13 still being to the wrong link.

Maybe check travis logs?

something like gh-pages-travis could be used to automate it.

Site Redesign

Pages

Landing Page

Wording for Features could probably use some work. For example "Routing" and "Offline First" could probably be expanded a bit. Also Getting Started will need to be updated to reflect the new CLI
