A modern starter kit for building full-stack applications with Relay, GraphQL, Express, and React.
Relay Fullstack is a modern starter kit for building full-stack JavaScript applications. It integrates Relay, GraphQL, Express, and React to provide a pre-configured foundation, solving the problem of manually setting up and connecting these tools. The kit includes hot reloading, a Yeoman generator for customization, and deployment scripts for production.
Developers and teams looking to quickly start a new project using Relay and GraphQL with a React frontend and Node.js/Express backend. It's ideal for those who want a production-ready setup without spending time on tooling integration.
It offers a comprehensive, unopinionated stack out of the box with hot reloading and easy customization, reducing initial setup time. Unlike building from scratch, it ensures best practices and compatibility between Relay, GraphQL, and React.

Pre-configured with Relay, GraphQL, Express, Webpack, and more, eliminating manual tool integration as described in the README.
Uses React Transform HMR for real-time screen updates during development, improving iteration speed.
Offers a Yeoman generator to tailor the stack with databases and Flow, though some features are work-in-progress.
Includes scripts for minification and deployment to platforms like Heroku, simplifying the build process.
The Yeoman generator's database, Flow, and sub-generator integrations are explicitly noted as work-in-progress, limiting current customization.
Requires separate installation of Watchman, adding an extra step and potential compatibility hurdles.
Heavily reliant on Relay and GraphQL; switching to other data layers would require significant rework.
Includes Material Design Lite by default, which may not suit all design needs without extensive CSS overrides.
