What stands out

A quick read of the recorded project description.

01

Uses SolidStart as the application framework, written in TypeScript

02

Integrates Prisma as the database access layer, requires DATABASE_URL configuration

03

Integrates tRPC to build type-safe API calls

04

Uses TailwindCSS for styling and pnpm as the package manager

05

Preconfigures ESLint, Prettier, husky, and lint-staged

06

Supports Vercel deployment, requires setting ENABLE_VC_BUILD=1

Template Details

This is a starter template for the SolidJS ecosystem; the repository describes itself as "minimal opinionated," meaning it stays minimal while predefining technology choices. It uses SolidStart as the application framework, Prisma for database access, tRPC for a type-safe API layer, TailwindCSS for styling, and pnpm as the package manager.

The template also includes several engineering configurations: ESLint is configured for solid-start, a Prettier configuration is provided, and pre-commit hooks are set up via husky and lint-staged; vite-plugin-solid-svg loads SVG files as components, and the solid-devtools integration defaults to WebStorm (can be switched to vscode by modifying targetIDE). The deployment target is Vercel, requiring the environment variable ENABLE_VC_BUILD=1, and Prisma requires DATABASE_URL.

The repository also lists two similar projects, Create JD App and solid.new, for comparison. The template code is MIT licensed and can be used, modified, commercialized, and distributed for free, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons, as well as external services like domains, hosting, and databases, require separate verification of licensing and costs.

SolidJSStarter

Is it right for your project?

Use Cases

  • Building a SolidJS project with a database and API layer starting from SolidStart
  • Needing type-safe API calls and a TailwindCSS styling solution early in the project
  • Wanting to follow an existing workflow with pnpm, ESLint, Prettier, and pre-commit hooks
  • Planning to deploy the application to Vercel and needing corresponding build environment variable examples

Suitable For

  • Frontend developers familiar with SolidJS or willing to learn SolidStart
  • Small to medium full-stack projects requiring a combination of Prisma and tRPC
  • Teams preferring a minimal starter template with predefined technology choices

Getting started & customization

Use these recorded setup notes alongside the repository instructions for your chosen version.

  1. 1

    Install dependencies and run project scripts using pnpm

  2. 2

    Set the environment variable ENABLE_VC_BUILD=1 to adapt to Vercel builds

  3. 3

    Configure DATABASE_URL for Prisma to point to your database connection

  4. 4

    solid-devtools defaults to targetIDE webstorm; modify it for VS Code if needed

  5. 5

    Verify licensing and costs of external services and third-party assets before deploying to Vercel

Usage conditions & limitations

Free to use · keep license notice

This entry covers the free version under the MIT license from the public repository; the free scope applies to that version's code and does not imply that external services or third-party assets are free.

Must comply with when using

  • The code of this version may be used, modified, commercialized, and distributed for free.
  • When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
  • The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.

Additional costs & items to verify

  • Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked under their respective licenses; they cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT license.
  • External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur additional charges.
  • When deploying to Vercel, the environment variable ENABLE_VC_BUILD must be set to 1, otherwise the build configuration may not take effect.
  • Using Prisma requires providing DATABASE_URL pointing to a database connection; you must supply your own database service and bear the corresponding costs.
  • The template's default deployment target is Vercel; using this hosting service requires registering an account and may incur costs.
  • The solid-devtools integration defaults to WebStorm; if using VS Code, you must modify the targetIDE configuration yourself.

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.

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 SolidJS 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.
