A project boilerplate generator creates the complete file structure and configuration for a new project in seconds. Select your framework, configure the options, preview every generated file, and download a ZIP ready to extract and start coding — no copy-pasting from documentation required.

Starting a new project from scratch means hours of boilerplate setup — package.json, configuration files, folder structure, .gitignore, README, and more. The boilerplate generator creates all of these correctly in seconds so you can start writing actual business logic immediately.
Step 1: Select a Framework
Choose from seven popular frameworks: Next.js 14 with App Router for React full-stack apps, Express.js for Node.js REST APIs, React + Vite for client-side SPAs, Flask for lightweight Python APIs, Django for full-featured Python web apps, Node.js CLI for command-line tools, or Fastify for high-performance Node.js APIs.
Step 2: Configure Your Project
Enter a project name (lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens — used as the folder name and in package.json), a short description, and choose a license. For JavaScript frameworks, select your preferred package manager (npm, yarn, or pnpm) — this affects the lockfile name and README commands. Check optional features: test setup, Docker, or GitHub Actions CI/CD.
Step 3: Preview the Generated Files
The file tree panel shows every file that will be in your ZIP. Click any filename to preview its exact contents. Check the package.json to verify dependencies, review the README.md for setup instructions, or inspect the CI/CD workflow. Use the Copy button to copy any individual file to your clipboard.
Step 4: Download and Start Coding
Click Download ZIP to create and download your project archive. Extract it, run your package manager (e.g., npm install), and you're ready to write code. The scaffold includes proper TypeScript configuration, linting setup, and environment variable templates where applicable.
FAQ
Is the boilerplate generator free?
Yes, completely free. Generate unlimited project scaffolding for any supported framework and download ZIP files without creating an account or installing anything.
Is my project configuration private?
Yes. All file generation happens in your browser using JavaScript. The JSZip library creates ZIP files client-side. No project names, configurations, or code are sent to any server.
What frameworks does the boilerplate generator support?
The generator supports Next.js 14 (App Router), Express.js, React with Vite, Flask (Python), Django, Node.js CLI, and Fastify — covering the most popular full-stack, frontend, and backend frameworks.
What optional files can be included?
You can optionally include test setup files (Jest for JS, pytest for Python), a Dockerfile and .dockerignore for containerization, and GitHub Actions CI/CD workflow files. Each option adds the appropriate configuration files to your scaffold.
Can I preview the generated files before downloading?
Yes. The file tree shows every file that will be included in the ZIP. Click any file in the tree to preview its exact contents in the code panel. The preview updates instantly when you change any configuration option.
Does the generated code need any modifications before use?
The scaffolding provides a complete starting structure with correct configuration. You'll need to run the package manager (npm install or pip install) to install dependencies after extracting the ZIP. Project-specific business logic is not included — it's a structural scaffold, not a complete application.
What package managers are supported for JavaScript frameworks?
npm, yarn, and pnpm are all supported for JavaScript-based frameworks (Next.js, Express, React, Node CLI, Fastify). The generated package.json scripts and README instructions will match your selected package manager.
