React Boilerplate Builder

This repo is used to create a new React &/or React Native App, using the latest version of React/React Native and all dependencies.

All new commits (changes to this repo) are automatically pushed to:

• React Native Starter Kit
• React Native Starter Kit (Expo version)
• React Starter Kit (web)

build.sh essentially just:

• npx create-react-app, react-native init or expo init's a new app
• Adds a bunch of commonly used dependencies (eg. Redux, a Router, Forms etc)
• Adds familiar developer dependencies like the AirBnB linting code style
• Adds a simple boilerplate codebase (with things like a directory structure, Redux and the Router configured, common components etc)
• Adds familiar IDE configuration like prettier and eslint
• Documentation for common tasks
• (React Native) Fastlane configuration for App Store deployment

❓ Why?

I was used to using a boilerplate app when building a new app, where I'd spend the first few hours updating dependencies and diffing against the latest version of a fresh React/React Native app. I wanted each project to use the latest and greatest (#fomo).

❓ Why Not?

Creating a project where dependency versions are not locked, can lead to instability. For example if dependency-X's latest version is a major release ahead of the last tested version, it may break your new app. Be aware.
