In-Depth Guide

Why a React Boilerplate Saves Hours on Every Project

Every new React project starts with the same decisions: TypeScript or JavaScript, which bundler, which CSS approach, how to structure folders, how to handle routing, and how to manage errors. Making these decisions and configuring them correctly takes hours. The Fabricate React boilerplate makes these choices for you using battle-tested defaults: TypeScript strict mode for type safety, Vite for fast builds, TailwindCSS 4 for styling, React Router v7 for navigation, and error boundaries for resilience. You start with working code instead of configuration files.

Folder Structure: Components, hooks, utilities, and routes live in dedicated directories with consistent naming conventions. This structure scales from a weekend project to a production application without refactoring.

Developer Experience: Hot module replacement, path aliases, and TypeScript IntelliSense give you instant feedback as you code. The boilerplate removes friction so you focus on features.

Production Readiness: Error boundaries, optimized Vite builds, and responsive layouts mean the foundation is ready for real users from day one.

Get Started in Seconds

Just describe what you want. Here's an example prompt:

"Build a task management app with a sidebar for project navigation, a main content area for task lists, and a detail panel for editing individual tasks. Include light and dark modes."

I used to spend half a day setting up every new React project. Now I describe the app, Fabricate gives me a clean boilerplate, and I am writing feature code in minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this different from create-react-app?

This boilerplate uses Vite instead of Webpack for significantly faster builds, includes TailwindCSS 4 and shadcn/ui components, and ships with TypeScript strict mode, error boundaries, and a scalable folder structure that CRA does not provide.

Can I add a backend later?

Yes. The boilerplate is frontend-focused by default. Describe your backend requirements and Fabricate adds API routes, database models, and server logic on top of the existing foundation.

Is the folder structure opinionated?

It follows widely-adopted conventions: components, hooks, lib, routes, and types directories. The structure is designed to scale from a small app to a large codebase without reorganization.

Does it include testing?

The boilerplate is ready for testing with Vitest and Testing Library. Describe your testing needs and Fabricate adds test files alongside your components.

Can I deploy it anywhere?

Yes. The Vite build produces static assets that deploy to Cloudflare Pages, Vercel, Netlify, or any static hosting provider.
