Tanstack Boilerplate
A fully type-safe boilerplate with a focus on UX and DX, complete with multiple examples.
Overview
The TanStack Boilerplate aims to provide a solid foundation for building applications with a strong emphasis on user experience (UX) and developer experience (DX). Currently in a work-in-progress phase, it showcases a variety of tools and frameworks that make web development a more streamlined process. With a focus on type safety and modern libraries, the boilerplate is structured to evolve and adapt into a reliable resource for developers.
Equipped with a comprehensive tech stack, including React 19 and various TanStack libraries, this boilerplate not only supports robust functionality but also enhances productivity. Its modular approach indicates a forward-thinking design that could eventually cater well to production-ready applications.

-
Rich Example Set: Multiple examples included within the boilerplate to help kickstart projects and inspire innovative implementations.
- React
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
- TanStack
TanStack is a collection of high-quality, framework-agnostic libraries including TanStack Query for data fetching, TanStack Router for routing, TanStack Table for tables, and more. These tools provide powerful, type-safe solutions for common web development challenges.
- Tailwind
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides pre-defined classes for building responsive and customizable user interfaces.
- cmdk
cmdk is a fast, composable command menu component for React. It provides the foundation for building command palettes, search interfaces, and keyboard-navigable menus similar to those found in applications like VS Code, Linear, and Raycast.
- Shadcn UI
Beautifully designed components that you can copy and paste into your apps. Accessible. Customizable. Open Source.
- Prisma
Prisma is a server-side library that helps developers read and write data to the database in an intuitive, efficient and safe way.
- Fullstack
A fullstack boilerplate provides a starter application that includes both frontend and backend. It should include database, auth, payments, user roles and other backend services to build a fully featured saas or webapps.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Postcss
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
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.
- Zod
Zod is a TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library. It allows you to define schemas that can validate data at runtime while providing excellent TypeScript inference, making it perfect for API validation, form validation, and type-safe data handling.
