ignite

Ignite is a React Native / Expo application boilerplate maintained by Infinite Red, described as continuously developed since 2016 and used by the company's own team on client projects. It is distributed as an npm CLI (`ignite-cli`) that scaffolds a new app, either through interactive prompts or by accepting recommended defaults. What it provides: - A preconfigured React Native project template with a curated set of libraries, including React Native, React, TypeScript, React Navigation, Expo modules, Reanimated, MMKV for persistence, apisauce for REST calls, Jest, date-fns, keyboard and edge-to-edge helpers, Reactotron for debugging, Maestro for end-to-end UI testing, and Hermes as the JS engine. - A component library tuned for custom designs, with theming support, custom fonts, and testing considerations. - CLI generators for components and models, plus an issue-reporting command that gathers diagnostic information. - Documentation covering the boilerplate's design decisions, a getting-started guide, and a contributing guide. - Optional internationalization support via Expo Localization, including RTL layouts. Typical usage is `npx ignite-cli@latest new PizzaApp`, with a `--yes` flag to skip prompts and a `--debug` flag for extra output. The README notes prerequisites such as a recent Node version and a working React Native environment for simulators, and lists troubleshooting steps for common installation problems. The project is MIT-licensed for its source code and boilerplate, while the Ignite name, logo, and brand assets remain the property of Infinite Red. Code generated by the CLI is owned by whoever generated it, though automatically installed third-party dependencies carry their own licenses. Community support is offered through GitHub issues and the Infinite Red Community Slack, and an Ignite Cookbook site collects code snippets.
