Quick Start

To use superplate, make sure you have npx is installed on your system (npx is shipped by default since npm 5.2.0).

To create a new app, run the following command:

npx superplate-cli <my-project>

You will be prompted with plugin options to create your project. A full list of avaiable plugins is here: superplate-core-plugins.

Once all questions are answered, superplate will install all plugins and dependencies. Then navigate to the project folder and launch it:

npm run dev

Use the dev command when running application in development mode.

Philosophy

• It provides an easy starting to your project by leveraging industry-standard best practices and and performance oriented tools.
• Fully extensible due its plugin based architechture.
• Code examples are added to plugin documents to show how best practices are implemented.

refine Integration

refine is a React framework for building internal tools rapidly.

refine offers lots of out-of-the box functionality for rapid development, without compromising extreme customizability. Use-cases include, but are not limited to admin panels, B2B applications and dashboards.

Next.js Integration

superplate makes it easier to get up and running with a well-structured Next.js and TypeScript application.

Next.js is a minimalistic React framework that runs on the browser and the server with all the features you need for production: hybrid static & server rendering, TypeScript support, smart bundling, route pre-fetching, and more. It offers developers an easy way to get started, build server-side rendering and static web applications using React.
