Features

Quick scaffolding

Create components, containers, routes, selectors and sagas - and their tests - right from the CLI!

Instant feedback

Enjoy the best DX (Developer eXperience) and code your app at the speed of thought! Your saved changes to the CSS and JS are reflected instantaneously without refreshing the page. Preserve application state even when you update something in the underlying code!

Predictable state management

Unidirectional data flow allows for change logging and time travel debugging.

Next generation JavaScript

Use template strings, object destructuring, arrow functions, JSX syntax and more, today.

Next generation CSS

Write composable CSS that's co-located with your components for complete modularity. Unique generated class names keep the specificity low while eliminating style clashes. Ship only the styles that are on the page for the best performance.

Industry-standard routing

It's natural to want to add pages (e.g. `/about`) to your application, and routing makes this possible.

Offline-first

The next frontier in performant web apps: availability without a network connection from the instant your users load the app.

SEO

We support SEO (document head tags management) for search engines that support indexing of JavaScript content. (eg. Google)

But wait... there's more!

• The best test setup: Automatically guarantee code quality and non-breaking changes. (Seen a react app with 99% test coverage before?)
• Native web app: Your app's new home? The home screen of your users' phones.
• The fastest fonts: Say goodbye to vacant text.
• Stay fast: Profile your app's performance from the comfort of your command line!
• Catch problems: AppVeyor and TravisCI setups included by default, so your tests get run automatically on Windows and Unix.

There’s also a fantastic video on how to structure your React.js apps with scalability in mind. It provides rationale for the majority of boilerplate's design decisions.
