A Clean Frontend Starting Point

This starter removes the usual setup work required for modern React projects. Tooling, structure, and defaults are already in place so you can focus on building features instead of configuring the stack.

Vite and React

Vite provides fast startup and instant hot reloads during development. React is used for building component-based user interfaces that remain easy to maintain as the application grows.

Styling with Tailwind CSS

Tailwind CSS is used for styling to keep layouts consistent and reduce custom CSS. Styles live close to components, making the UI easier to change and reason about.

Routing

React Router handles client-side routing, allowing the application to be structured around clear routes and pages.

API Requests

Axios is used for HTTP requests. It provides a simple API for working with REST endpoints and supports interceptors for shared request logic.

State Management

Zustand manages global state with a small and simple API. It avoids the complexity of larger state libraries while remaining predictable and easy to test.

Forms and Validation

React Hook Form is used for building forms with good performance. Zod validates form data and shared schemas, keeping types consistent across the application.

Testing and Linting

Vitest is included for unit testing. ESLint enforces basic code quality rules and helps catch common issues during development.

Package Management

pnpm is used for faster installs and reduced disk usage, especially useful as the project grows.
