JSPM – @gavbarosee/react-kickstart@0.2.0

Package Exports

@gavbarosee/react-kickstart
@gavbarosee/react-kickstart/src/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@gavbarosee/react-kickstart) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

The CLI's interactive mode in action!

Quick Start

New: Now with enhanced semantic release automation!

# Interactive mode (guided prompts)
npx @gavbarosee/react-kickstart my-app

# Non-interactive mode (with flags)
npx @gavbarosee/react-kickstart my-app \
  --yes \
  --framework vite \
  --typescript \
  --styling tailwind \
  --routing react-router \
  --state redux \
  --api axios-react-query \
  --testing vitest \
  --deployment netlify

What React Kickstart Does

React Kickstart creates a complete, working React application in seconds. Here's exactly what happens when you run it:

The Complete Setup Process

Asks you simple questions - What framework? TypeScript? Styling? State Management? Routing? Tests? Linting? Deployment? etc (or skip for a default configuration with --yes)
Creates your project folder with a clean file structure
Installs all dependencies automatically (npm/yarn) - no manual setup needed
Configures everything - ESLint, Prettier, build scripts, deployment settings
Generates example code showing how to use your chosen tools together
Opens your IDE automatically (VS Code, Cursor, etc.) if installed
Starts the dev server and opens your browser to localhost
Ready to code! - Your app is running and you can start building immediately

What Makes It Special

Zero configuration - Everything just works out of the box
Smart detection - Finds your installed IDE and package manager
Battle-tested combinations - All tools are pre-configured to work together perfectly
Real examples - Not empty templates, but working code you can build on
Production ready - Includes deployment configs, testing setup, and best practices

Technology Options

Choose Your Stack	Available Options
Framework	Vite (fast dev) or Next.js (full-stack)
Language	TypeScript (recommended) or JavaScript
Styling	Tailwind CSS, styled-components, or plain CSS
Routing	React Router (Vite only), Next.js App Router, or Pages Router
State Management	Redux Toolkit, Zustand, or none
API Calls	Axios + React Query, Axios only, Fetch + React Query, Fetch only, or none
Testing	Vitest (fast), Jest (traditional), or none
Deployment	Vercel, Netlify, or manual setup
Package Manager	npm or yarn (auto-detected)

Why Not Just Use Vite or Next.js CLI?

Great question! The official tools (npm create vite@latest, npx create-next-app) are excellent, but they only get you started. React Kickstart goes much further:

Official CLI Tools Give You:

Basic project structure
Minimal configuration
A "Hello World" starting point

React Kickstart Gives You:

Everything above, PLUS:
Pre-configured tool combinations - Redux + RTK Query, Tailwind + TypeScript, etc.
Working example code - See how the tools work together, not just empty templates
Complete development setup - ESLint, Prettier, testing, deployment configs
Smart integrations - Auto-detects your IDE and package manager
Production-ready structure - Organized folders, best practices, proper imports
One command setup - No need to manually add and configure 5+ additional tools
