Overview:

This is an experimental starter kit for a React universal/isomorphic app. It provides various features and tools for building and testing React applications, including server-side rendering, data prefetching, caching, Docker configuration, CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions, and more.

Features:

• React Router: Allows for easy navigation and routing in the React app.
• Polyglot: Provides internationalization support for the app.
• CSS Modules + PostCSS + PurgeCSS + StyleLint: Enables modular CSS styling and optimization.
• TypeScript + Babel + ESLint: Supports writing React components in TypeScript with modern JavaScript syntax. Includes eslint for code linting.
• Jest + React Testing Library: Offers testing utilities for unit testing React components.
• webpack: A module bundler that helps manage dependencies and build the React app.
• Docker config: Includes Dockerfile for building a containerized version of the app.
• nodemon + Hot module replacement (in development): Enables automatic server-side code reloading during development.
• Server-side rendering with Express or exporting as static site: Supports server-side rendering of the React app or exporting it as a static HTML site.
• Data prefetching and caching: Helps optimize the loading of data in the React app.
• Web workers: Allows for offloading heavy tasks to separate threads using web workers.
