I’m excited to share my new open-source CLI tool: polyfront-scaffold!
After weeks of building and testing, this tool helps you scaffold modern React (Vite/Webpack) and Angular applications in minutes, with ready-to-use presets for UI, state management, testing, and more.
🎯 What It Does
polyfront-scaffold generates production-ready frontend projects with opinionated but flexible defaults. Instead of wiring boilerplate, teams can focus on building features.
Key Highlights
- Frameworks supported: React (Vite/Webpack) & Angular
- UI stacks: MUI, Bootstrap, Tailwind, Ant Design, Chakra, Angular Material
- State management (React): Redux, MobX, React Query, or none
- Built-in utilities: HTTP clients, i18n placeholders, date libraries (moment/dayjs/date-fns), and testing setup (Jest, Vitest, Cypress, Playwright)
-
Folder structure: Clean, scalable, with
.envpresets - Cross-platform: Works on Windows, macOS, Linux
- Node support: Fully tested on Node 20 & 22
