Cheap Stack: Astro With Typescript, React, Tailwind, Shadcn UI and Pocketbase

Caution

This boilerplate is still work in progress and expect any breaking changes will occured.

This is a mono repo that consist of frontend and backend with stack:

• Astro (Typescript)
• React
• Tailwind CSS + Shadcn UI
• Pocketbase
• Docker

Use this repo as a template. You can also setup action-template-sync to update template with already created repo (since it's different with repo forking).

🚀 Project Structure

Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:

/
├── public/
├── src/
│   ├── components/
│   │   ├── app/
│   │   ├── ui/
│   │   └── InteractiveComponent.tsx
│   ├── layouts/
│   │   ├── BlogPage.astro
│   │   ├── DashboardPage.astro
│   │   └── LandingPage.astro
│   ├── lib/
│   │   └── utils.ts
│   ├── pages/
│   │   └── index.astro
│   ├── services/backend/
│   │   ├── pocketbase.ts
│   │   └── pocketbase-types.ts
│   ├── styles/
│   │   └── global.css
│   └── types/
│       └── pages.ts
├── .env
└── package.json

Astro looks for .astro or .md files in the src/pages/ directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.

There's nothing special about src/components/, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.

Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public/ directory.
