Advanced tools
Blitz is a Rails-like framework for monolithic, full-stack React apps — built on Next.js
Readme
“Zero-API” data layer lets you import server code directly into your React components instead of having to manually add API endpoints and do client-side fetching and caching.
New Blitz apps come with all the boring stuff already set up for you! Like ESLint, Prettier, Jest, user sign up, log in, and password reset.
Provides helpful defaults and conventions for things like routing, file structure, and authentication while also being extremely flexible.
You need Node.js 12 or newer
Run npm install -g blitz or yarn global add blitz
You can alternatively use npx
blitz new myAppNamecd myAppNameblitz dev
The Blitz Manifesto explains these principles in detail.
Blitz is designed for tiny to large database-backed applications that have one or more graphical user interfaces.
While we currently only support web, we are pursuing the dream of a single monolithic application that runs on web and mobile with maximum code sharing and minimal boilerplate.
The Blitz community is warm, safe, diverse, inclusive, and fun! LGBTQ+, women, and minorities are especially welcome. Please read our Code of Conduct.
Join our Discord Community where we help each other build Blitz apps. It's also where we collaborate on building Blitz itself.
For questions and longer form discussions, post in our forum.
There's still a lot of work to do, so you are especially invited to join us in building Blitz! A good place to start is The Contributing Guide.
