react-boilerplate 🚀

Developer Ready: A comprehensive template. Works out of the box for most React.js projects. This project is intended to be used with the latest active release of React.js.

Instant Value - All basic tools included and configured:

• 🚀 Typescript >= 5.5.4
• 🌐 React.js >= 18.3.1
• 🧅 Use Bun as package manager
• 🌈 ESM
• 🧹 ESlint with some initial rules recommendation
• 🧪 Biome for code formatting and linting
• ✅ Jest or Bun test for fast unit testing and code coverage
• 📚 Type definitions for Bun.js and Jest
• 🎨 Prettier to enforce consistent code style
• ⚙️ EditorConfig for consistent coding style
• 📦 NPM scripts for common operations
• 📝 Simple example of Tsx code
• 🐗 Run tasks with Grunt (example for backup)
• 🖥️ Ungit for version control (git) with a GUI
• ⚡ Use Vite for lightning fast HMR (hot reload)
• ⚡ Optimized build by Vite
• 🧪 E2E test with Playwright
• 🐳 Containerization for easy deployment and scaling with Docker
• 🧺 Pre-configured setup for Redux or Zustand as state manager, easily removable if not needed
• 🌀 Tailwind CSS already set up with PostCSS for flexible usage
• 🩷 Sass extends CSS with features like variables, nested rules, mixins, imports, inheritance, built-in functions, and more ...

You can customize your website faster with PLUM, a mixins toolset powered by SASS. Quickly produce consistent, scalable CSS output, regardless of project size. For the best experience, it is recommended to use SASS version 1.77.6 to ensure smooth integration with PLUM.

📌 Usage

To use this template, use the following commands:

bun create github.com/RajaRakoto/react-boilerplate <project-name>
cd <project-name>
bun run pkg-upgrade # to upgrade outdated dependencies in interactive mode

1. This starter kit uses the MIT license with my name and GitHub profile—update or remove if needed.
2. Each subdirectory in src has a README.md to explain its structure.
3. Adjust the package.json (name, description, author, etc.) to fit your project.

📌 Deployment

Instructions are provided for deploying both with and without Docker. Both options still require a platform to host the application.

Without Docker: Deploying is as easy as running the following command and pointing your web server to the generated index.html file found at dist/index.html

bun run build

With Docker: A Dockerfile with an NGINX base image is also provided for quick and easy deployments. Simply execute the following commands:

bun run build
docker build . -t <container_name> # eg: docker build . -t todo-app
docker run  -p <port_number>:80 <container_name> # eg: docker run todo-app -p 8080:80
