Minimal React Setup

Overview

If you’re diving into the world of React and looking for a simplistic setup to kickstart your journey, the Minimal React Boilerplate is a great choice. Designed primarily as a learning tool, it provides a streamlined environment to understand the fundamentals of building a React application. With a focus on easing the learning curve, this boilerplate utilizes Parcel for bundling your code and includes Jest for testing, making it an excellent starting point for beginners.

While it’s not intended for production use, as it’s better suited for educational purposes rather than extensive projects, using this boilerplate can give you insight into how bundlers operate and how to integrate testing in your development process.
