📦 Features

This development starter template comes fully equipped with all the necessary tools to create modern, responsive and fast web applications, including:

• React JS: A library for building user interfaces that uses a declarative approach and provides a way to create reusable UI components;
• JavaScript: A programming language used primarily for creating dynamic web content and interactive user interfaces;
• Tailwind CSS: A utility-first CSS framework that provides predefined classes for common styles and layout patterns, allowing quick styling without writing custom CSS;
• SASS: A CSS preprocessor that adds features such as variables, nesting, and mixins to CSS, making it easier to write and maintain large CSS codebases;
• PostCSS: A tool for transforming CSS with JavaScript plugins, allowing to add new features to CSS and improve the development process:
  • Autoprefixer: A PostCSS plugin that adds vendor prefixes to CSS properties, ensuring cross-browser compatibility;
  • CSSnano: A PostCSS plugin that minifies CSS code, reducing file size and improving page load times;
• Fontawesome: A library with over 5000 free icons that can be easily customized and used in web applications;
• Playwright: A library for automating web browser interactions, allowing the writing of end-to-end tests and perform browser automation tasks;
• Vite: A build tool and development server that provides fast and efficient development and production builds for modern web applications:
  • SWC: An extensible Rust-based platform used for both compilation and bundling both JavaScript and TypeScript into cross-browser supported code;
  • Partytown: A lazy-loaded library to help relocate resource intensive scripts into a web worker, and off of the main thread. Its goal is to help speed up sites by dedicating the main thread to your code, and offloading third-party scripts to a web worker;

And with tools that enhance the development experience:

• ESLint: A tool for enforcing coding standards and identifying potential errors in the code;
• Prettier: A code formatter that automatically formats code to conform to a consistent style, making it easier to read and maintain;
• Husky: A Git hook manager that allows easy set up and configuration of Git hooks, which are scripts that run at certain points in the Git workflow;
• Commitlint: A tool for enforcing commit message conventions in Git repositories, helping to ensure consistent and informative commit messages;

🔃 Versions

Webpack and Vite are popular build tools for web applications, but they differ in terms of build speed and configuration. Vite is faster than Webpack, especially for large projects, and has a more "zero-config" approach. Both tools support SWC as a compiler, but Vite is optimized for it out of the box, making it even faster. If you prioritize speed and ease of use, go with the Vite versions. If you need more control over your build process, choose the Webpack version.

Vite:

React - TypeScript	React - JavaScript	Vanilla TypeScript	Vanilla JavaScript
& Repo	& This repo	Soon!	Soon!

Webpack:

React - TypeScript	React - JavaScript	Vanilla TypeScript	Vanilla JavaScript
& Repo	& Soon!	Soon!	Repo

🌐 Browsers support

The provided configuration ensures 92.3 % of global browsers , especially it supports the last three versions of the following browsers:

Chrome	Firefox	Edge	Opera	Safari

In order to support a wider percentage of browsers and meet your project requirements, update the ./.browserslistrc configuration file:

1. last 3 versions: the versions of each browser;
2. > 0.2%: the browsers usage statistics;
3. not dead: the browsers official support or updates;

You can play with the configurations here and check in real-time the global browsers support .

The more versions to support, larger JS and CSS bundles size will be.
