This is a React starter kit that goes past what most of them do. It is opinionated, and biased towards Freactal as a store (instead of Redux).

Here are the inclusions and benefits:

This uses the Neutrino foundation for the initial structure, webpackery, and test automation. A partial list of the important sub-packages Neutrino brings in are:

• eslint,AirBnB: there are yarn scripts for style consistentcy. if for some reason you do NOT want this, remove the first include in the .neutrinorc config file.
• jest: The tests are separated into a test folder.
• Modular CSS: including xxx-module.css (and using its named styles) gives you no-sweat css modularity. (including css with other names gives you NOT-modular css that names global styles)

Freactal lets you define stores like Redux without all the bullshit. Freactal-seed lets you define stores in Freactal with one-stroke, including a default value, expected type (integer, array, object, etc) and automatic backup of store values to local storage.

Like Redux, Freactal lets you define stores at the component level. These stores will override any state in the global state (the one defined in the App component) so should be namespaced accordingly.

Also the App State is set to store state in Local Storage, and the templated page states do NOT (by default). If your states don't conflict with global state you can switch on local storage for them.

Bottle gives you injection; for those used to injection from Angular it means you can replace constants, utilities and functions in the test process without a lot of worry, and you can centralize your includes in a single container.

Currently only the lib folder and its items are bottled.

There is a gulp task you can execute:

gulp comp --name=Foo

This will spawn a component with:

• a CSS module style sheet
• its own Freactal store
• A component
• A view

React Router is available; working on a Gulp task to create a route. The Dom version is included in the root index file. The Route switch is in content, but as the guide outlines, you can have sub-switches in other pages in your app as well.

Almost all my sites have a fixed header and scrolling content region. If this is not your desired system adjust the App component to taste.

I've been using Auth0 habitually for my personal projects. It gives you social login for free (subject to their user agreement). @TODO

I use the React Material Design(MD) system for quick and pretty UI widgets. Its not a 360 degree solution for everything but it saves a lot of time for basic dropdowns buttons and inputs.

I'm doing a lot of smaller projects (ADD programmer) and I'm doing the same boilerplate over and over. Its not useful to do this, and I want to share some of the economies I've found for quick jumpstarting of projects with others.

Also, I think that Freactal and Bottle are two great solutions that have escaped notice, and I want to do what I can to promote them.

Some of the things I want to do when this is all stable is:

• Add a basic grid/REST/ table scaffolding via a wizard to let you do easy bootstrapping of admin/list displays.
• Include internationalization.
• Include test coverage starters for the Freactal stores.
