A full-stack monorepo template for building SaaS applications with React 19, tRPC, and Cloudflare Workers. Type-safe from database to UI, deployable to the edge in minutes.

Highlights

- Type-safe full stack — TypeScript, tRPC, and Drizzle ORM create a single type contract from database to UI
- Edge-native — Three Cloudflare Workers (web, app, api) connected via service bindings
- Auth + billing included — Better Auth with email OTP, passkey, Google OAuth, organizations, and Stripe subscriptions
- Modern React — React 19, TanStack Router (file-based), TanStack Query, Jotai, Tailwind CSS v4, shadcn/ui
- Database ready — Drizzle ORM with Neon PostgreSQL, migrations, and seed data
- Fast DX — Bun runtime, Vite, Vitest, ESLint, Prettier, and pre-configured VS Code settings

React Starter Kit is proudly supported by these amazing sponsors:

Each app deploys independently to Cloudflare Workers. The web worker routes /api/* to the API worker and app routes to the app worker via service bindings.

Prerequisites

- Bun v1.3+ (replaces Node.js and npm)
- VS Code with our recommended extensions
- React Developer Tools browser extension (recommended)
- Cloudflare account for deployment

Quick Start

1. Create Your Project

Generate a new repository from this template, then clone it locally:

bash
git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-project-name.git
cd your-project-name

2. Install Dependencies

bash
bun install

3. Configure Environment

This project follows Vite env conventions:

- .env is committed and contains shared defaults/placeholders only (no real secrets)
- .env.local is git-ignored and should contain your real credentials
- .env.local values override .env

bash
cp .env .env.local  # then replace placeholder values with real ones

Also check wrangler.jsonc for Worker configuration and bindings.

4. Start Development

bash

Launch all apps in development mode (web, api, and app)


bun dev

Or, start specific apps individually


bun web:dev # Marketing site
bun app:dev # Main application
bun api:dev # API server

5. Initialize Database

Ensure DATABASE_URL is configured in your .env.local file, then set up the schema:

bash
bun db:push              # Push schema directly (quick dev setup)
bun db:seed # Seed with sample data (optional)
bun db:studio # Open database GUI

For production, use bun db:migrate to apply migrations instead of db:push.

| App | URL |
| -------------- | ----------------------- |
| React app | <http://localhost:5173> |
| Marketing site | <http://localhost:4321> |
| API server | <http://localhost:8787> |

Production Deployment

1. Environment Setup

Configure your production secrets in Cloudflare Workers:

bash

Required secrets


bun wrangler secret put BETTER_AUTH_SECRET

Stripe billing (optional — first 4 required to enable, annual is optional)


bun wrangler secret put STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
bun wrangler secret put STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET
bun wrangler secret put STRIPE_STARTER_PRICE_ID
bun wrangler secret put STRIPE_PRO_PRICE_ID
bun wrangler secret put STRIPE_PRO_ANNUAL_PRICE_ID # optional

OAuth providers (as needed)


bun wrangler secret put GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID
bun wrangler secret put GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET

Email service


bun wrangler secret put RESEND_API_KEY

AI features (optional)


bun wrangler secret put OPENAI_API_KEY

Run these commands from the target app directory or pass --config apps/<app>/wrangler.jsonc. Non-sensitive vars like RESEND_EMAIL_FROM go in wrangler.jsonc directly.

2. Build and Deploy

bash

Build packages that require compilation (order matters!)


bun email:build # Build email templates first
bun web:build # Build marketing site
bun app:build # Build main React app

Deploy all applications


bun web:deploy # Deploy marketing site
bun api:deploy # Deploy API server
bun app:deploy # Deploy main React app
