Overview

For developers looking to create static websites using React, this boilerplate serves as a powerful starting point. Built on an older version of GatsbyJS, it has been tailored to include a variety of tools and technologies that are commonly needed in web projects. While the repository is no longer maintained, the features it offers are robust enough to accommodate many typical use cases for static site generation.

The boilerplate, affectionately referred to as "The Kitchen Sink", integrates multiple libraries and frameworks, making it a well-rounded choice for building reactive and engaging UIs. It combines everything from animation libraries to form validation, streamlining the development process and providing essential functionality right out of the box.

Features

  • GatsbyJS Foundation: Built on GatsbyJS, this boilerplate lays a solid foundation for fast, static websites.

  • Comprehensive Tooling: Includes React, Redux, SCSS, Post-CSS, and more, ensuring a rich development environment.

  • Pre-configured Navigation: The navigation system is pre-hooked to Redux and uses React Headroom for an auto-hiding effect, enhancing user experience.

  • Form Functionality: Comes with a customizable form that supports fetch and standard POST requests, complete with built-in validation.

  • Custom API Integration: Easily swap out reducers and API calls to connect with various services, making it adaptable to different backends.

  • Page Transitions: Supports customizable page transitions, allowing for smoother user experiences between different views.

  • ScrollMagic Integration: Features an example component that utilizes ScrollMagic for scroll-based animations, equipped with comments for better understanding.

  • Cross-browser Compatibility: Tested down to IE10 with appropriate polyfills, ensuring access across a broad range of browsers.

Redux

Redux is a state management library for JavaScript apps that provides a predictable and centralized way to manage application state. It enables developers to write actions and reducers that update the state in response to user interactions, server responses, and other events, and can be used with a variety of front-end frameworks and back-end technologies.
