Question 1

How do I add Firebase to create-react-app-material-typescript-redux?

Accepted Answer

Use the react-factory CLI tool by running 'yo react-factory' and selecting the Firebase integration option during setup, as it's listed as an optional feature in the README.

Question 2

Does this boilerplate work with React 18?

Accepted Answer

It's derived from Create React App, so it likely supports recent React versions, but you should check the package.json dependencies for specific compatibility, as updates may be needed.

Question 3

create-react-app-material-typescript-redux vs Next.js, which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

This boilerplate is best for client-side SPAs with Material-UI and Redux, while Next.js is better for server-side rendering, static sites, or projects needing built-in API routes.

Question 4

Can I remove Redux if I don't need it?

Accepted Answer

Removing Redux requires manual configuration changes since it's deeply integrated; consider a lighter boilerplate if you prefer alternatives like Context API or Zustand.

Question 5

How to enable Cypress testing in this setup?

Accepted Answer

Run the react-factory CLI and select the Cypress option, which configures the testing environment as an optional feature, though you may need to adjust scripts post-setup.

Question 6

Is server-side rendering supported?

Accepted Answer

No, it's based on Create React App which is client-side only; for SSR, you'd need to migrate to a framework like Next.js or customize the build configuration extensively.
