/react_base

I love everything about create-react-app except the template it uses for project setup. This is a template/structure I like. You probably won't like it.

React Base

An opinionated starter structure for React projects

Problem: I really love the simplicity of create-react-app, but I hate the default directory structure

Solution: Create my own

Changes between the standard setup and mine:

  • Clean up the index.html file (make it as minimal as humanly possible- I can add Android support and all that fun stuff if I decide I need it)
  • Create a components directory (personal preference)
  • Every JS file except index.js and registerServiceWorker.js has a .jsx extension (this is helpful when dealing with editors that choose syntax based on file extension)
  • Move CSS to it's own directory (because obviously)
  • registerServiceWorker.js is moved to /lib (not a CLUE why it's in root in the first place)
