Template Details

This is a Vite starter template for React and TypeScript, primarily intended for quickly setting up front-end projects that use the MUI (Material UI) component library. The template comes preconfigured with React, TypeScript, and MUI, and enables @emotion/babel-plugin to work with MUI's styling solution. The README states that its production build output is approximately 198kb and build time is about 8–10 seconds, but this data comes from the author's own description and was not independently verified in this material.

Built-in features include: a custom theme, reading that theme within styled components, a dark mode toggle implemented via React Context, and alias imports mapping @/ to src/. It also configures a Rollup bundle analysis script, runnable via yarn analyze.

To use it, clone the repository or click the Use this template button on GitHub, then install dependencies with yarn and run yarn dev to start the development server. The repository is MIT licensed, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license checks, and external services such as domains and hosting may incur costs.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.
