The fastest way to scaffold production-ready React applications

Quick Start • Why This? • What's Included • Docs

# npm
npm create ronins-react@latest my-app

# yarn
yarn create ronins-react@latest my-app

# pnpm
pnpm create ronins-react@latest my-app

# bun (recommended)
bun create ronins-react@latest my-app

Then:

cd my-app
bun install   # or npm install
bun dev       # start dev server at localhost:5173

# Scaffold in current directory
npm create ronins-react@latest .

# Minimal setup (no demo pages)
npm create ronins-react@latest my-app --clean

• create-react-app: Deprecated, uses Webpack, outdated dependencies
• create-vite: Minimal - you still need to set up routing, state, UI, testing
• create-t3-app: Great but opinionated toward Next.js and tRPC

create-ronins-react gives you:

• Latest stable versions of everything (React 19, Vite 7, Tailwind 4)
• Production-ready defaults (linting, formatting, testing, git hooks)
• shadcn/ui pre-configured - just run bunx shadcn add button
• Works with npm, yarn, pnpm, and bun
• --clean flag for minimal projects

bun dev           # Start dev server
bun run build     # Type check + build
bun check         # Lint + format + typecheck
bun test          # Run tests (watch)
bun test:run      # Run tests once
bun knip          # Find dead code

shadcn/ui is pre-configured. Just add components:

bunx shadcn add button
bunx shadcn add dialog
bunx shadcn add form input
