What’s included

This template ships with a curated set of tools that work together out of the box:

Vite + rolldown-vite

Lightning-fast dev server with HMR and optimized production builds using the rolldown-vite bundler.

React 19 + TypeScript

Full TypeScript support with strict type checking and the latest React features.

Tailwind CSS v4

Utility-first CSS with the new @tailwindcss/vite plugin for zero-config integration.

shadcn/ui Primitives

Button, Card, and Input components built on Radix UI and styled with Tailwind CSS.

React Router DOM v7

Declarative, object-based routing with a shared Layout component and page outlet.

ESLint

Pre-configured rules for React hooks, TypeScript, and React Refresh.

Design philosophy

This template follows a few core principles:
  • Minimal surface area — only the tools you actually need, nothing more
  • Composable by default — small components you can extend without fighting the framework
  • Type-safe throughout — TypeScript is not optional; all components have proper types
  • Utility-first styling — Tailwind classes instead of ad-hoc CSS or CSS modules
  • Convention over configuration — a folder structure that scales naturally as your app grows

The template uses rolldown-vite as a drop-in replacement for standard Vite, providing faster build times while maintaining full API compatibility.
