Infinite Red’s battle-tested React Native project boilerplate, along with a CLI, component/model generators, and more!

Ignite – the battle-tested React Native boilerplate

Proven React Native boilerplate

The culmination of over seven years of constant React Native development, Ignite is the most popular React Native app boilerplate for both Expo and bare React Native.

This is the React Native boilerplate that the Infinite Red team uses on a day-to-day basis to build client apps. Developers who use Ignite report that it saves them two to four weeks of time on average off the beginning of their React Native project!
