Template Details
Reaction is a React application starter template, described in the repository as using React-Router and Bootstrap 4. The README's usage flow is: clone the repository to a local directory, install dependencies, start a development server with auto-refresh, and perform a production build via npm build. The template itself does not include backend or data layer documentation, and the README does not mention routing structure, page composition, or style customization methods, so its content primarily consists of scaffolding and dependency combinations. The repository uses the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code; however, third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification, and external services like domains and hosting may incur additional charges.

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.
What to verify for this project
- Repository update recorded

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.
The catalog identifies React as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
