About The Project

An extremely opinionated template for building React applications. Focus on the application itself rather than all these low-level configuration stuffs.

Incentives:

• Wanted to build a web portal with Zilliqa.js
• Don't want to use create-react-app
• Don't want to use Next.js
• Buitl this React template so I can use for other projects.

Of course, no one template will serve all projects since your needs may be different. So I'll be adding more in the near future. You may also suggest changes by forking this repo and creating a pull request or opening an issue. Thanks to all the people have contributed to expanding this template!

Design

Charts are very useful to let people know the high level designs of the project. Usually people will use some of more sophisticated third-party diagramming tools such as Enterprese Architect or a light-weighted draw.io.

Contrary to the public's awareness, GitHub actually supports diagramming language Mermaid that can generate a wide array of diagrams such as flowchart, sequence diagram, class diagram and more!
