React boilerplate or React starter kit is an initial setup for React project that can be used to save your time every time you develop a React app. A React boilerplate usually built based on the project type and the libraries used.

Using a react boilerplate will save your time setting up the project structure, dependencies, and build configuration.

There are a lot of boilerplates out there that can be used in your project. But, choosing the right one isn’t simple as it seems since most of the boilerplates are very opinionated and depend on libraries that may not be used in your project.

Before you use a boilerplate, I want to remind you that if you’re just starting with react, I don’t recommend using one because it will only confuse you.

Using the official create-react-app boilerplate is enough if you’re just starting to learn React. You can learn and use this React project structure as well to expand your knowledge on how to structure a React project.

In this post, I curated the best 15 react boilerplates and starter kits for different kinds of projects from Github, ranked by popularity. But, just because a boilerplate is more popular than the others, doesn’t mean that it’s the best for your project.

You have to check and read the details first before you use it, so you know whether it’s suitable or not for your project.
