Rails-like framework for monolithic, full-stack React apps without an API
The central thesis is that most apps don’t need a REST or GraphQL API. Blitz brings back the simplicity of server rendered frameworks like Ruby on Rails while preserving everything we love about React and client-side rendering.
Additionally, Blitz is bringing other Rails goodness that’s missing in the React ecosystem like file structure and routing conventions, a really nice console REPL, intelligent code-scaffolding, and a fine-tuned out-of-the-box setup with Prettier, Typescript, ESlint, Jest, Cypress, etc.
Blitz is designed for tiny to large database-backed applications that have one or more graphical user interfaces.
Web support will be released first, followed by React Native. 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 Manifesto explains these principles in detail.
We expect an initial alpha release to be ready the week of April 20, 2020. In the meantime, check out the Architecture RFC and view the example app here: examples/store
