  • create-react-app

    Set up a modern web app by running one command.

  • React is just a library for building user interfaces, so you need to use many other libraries to build a full-fledged app. That is why configuring the right development environment with React is a real and serious problem, which is difficult for an individual developer to solve. The configuration shouldn’t stand in the way of getting started a new project. The proposed solution is create-react-app. That solution has gained significant popularity as a started build for development with over 84 thousand stars on GitHub. It offers:

  • rsuite

    🧱 A suite of React components .

  • React suit is an example of such a narrowly focused component library for enterprise system products.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.

  • react-boilerplate

    :fire: A highly scalable, offline-first foundation with the best developer experience and a focus on performance and best practices.

  • React boilerplate is another example of a tool that helps to tackle the confusing React ecosystem and optimize the development environment. It contains tools like React Router, Reselect, Jest, ESLint aimed to help you manage performance, routing, asynchrony, styling, etc. Comparing to create-react-app, React boilerplate is not for beginners to React and requires a certain level of knowledge. You can take a closer look at that template if you are going to build a complex full-fledged single-page application, otherwise, it’s better to skip it. These days when the Internet is full of templates, tools, tutorials, it became possible to pick up the tool just as you need to according to the functions that your app requires. It’s not a good idea to choose a tool with a bunch of different features 80 percent of which you hardly can apply in your app.

  • Material UI

    Ready-to-use foundational React components, free forever. It includes Material UI, which implements Google's Material Design.

  • It is built with the Material UI framework that follows Material Design principles. It goes with fully responsive UI elements, an E-commerce section powered with Node.js, and truly friendly and competent support of the team of professional developers. The template has a free stripped-down version you can download and utilize for your app.

  • jest

    Delightful JavaScript Testing.

  • Jest as a fast unit test Node-based runner with version control integration that run tests related to the files changed since the last commit.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
