My starter boilerplate for new projects. Totally opinionated :)
The Project Starter is a thoughtfully designed framework tailored for JavaScript projects, offering a seamless experience for both frontend and backend development. Whether you're building an entire application or focusing on just one part, this starter kit equips you with everything you need to get started quickly and efficiently.
This starter is ready to go with predefined configurations, allowing developers to dive straight into coding without spending time on initial setup. With its reliance on modern technologies and structured approach, it streamlines the development process and helps maintain clarity throughout your project.
Opinionated Setup: This project starter comes with pre-configured settings, optimizing your workflow and establishing a consistent structure across your codebase.
Environment Variables: A built-in .env file support ensures that your sensitive data remains secure while still being easily accessible in your application.
Rapid Development: Using yarn plop, developers can quickly create new React components, automating the boilerplate generation for faster implementation.
Modern Tech Stack: Enjoy a combination of GraphQL, Apollo, TypeScript, React, Node.js, and Express, providing a robust foundation for web applications.
CSS Management: The project includes PostCSS and plans for extracting CSS in production builds, helping to improve load times and simplify styles management.
Mocked Data Handling: All data interactions are mocked with Apollo, allowing for easy front-end development without needing a live backend.
Production Readiness: The starter kit includes steps to add a hash to your production build, aiding in cache busting and improving your application’s performance.

React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
Apollo is an open-source platform for building GraphQL APIs that connects with any data source. It provides a powerful set of tools and features for developers, including client and server-side caching, real-time data synchronization, and a seamless integration with popular frontend frameworks.
A website that uses GraphQL as a query language to manage data fetching and state management. This includes features such as a strongly typed schema, client-side caching, and declarative data fetching to streamline data management and optimize website performance.
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
