Tools

• React
• Tailwind CSS
• Chakra-ui
• React Buddy
• TypeScript
• Redux Toolkit
• Axios
• React Router DOM

Install dependencies

cd my-app
cd client
npm install
cd ..
npm install

Start the development server

npm run watch
npm run dev

• Run the above two commands on different terminal sessions.

• Remove the .git folder and initialize your own git repository.

• In this case npm run watch needs to be executed before starting the development server with npm run dev as the TypeScript files need to be compiled to JavaScript before staring the dev server with node. ts-node can be used this to avoid this.

TODO

• Includes testing frameworks, eslint and prettier.
• Create a npm CLI library for scaffolding projects.
