About
About React Tanstarter
The public domain-licensed template provides an integrated authentication system through Better Auth, database management with Drizzle ORM, routing and state management with TanStack Router and Query, and beautiful UI components from shadcn/ui styled with Tailwind CSS. Built with cutting-edge technologies including React 19's latest features, TanStack's modern routing and data fetching tools, and PostgreSQL for robust data persistence, the template offers a minimalist project structure with integrated development scripts and easy deployment to platforms like Netlify.
The starter includes utilities for authentication flows, theming customization, and efficient development workflows with all essential features configured. Perfect for developers building full-stack React applications with TanStack, projects requiring modern authentication and database integration, teams wanting rapid project initialization with latest React ecosystem practices, or any application benefiting from TanStack's powerful routing and data management combined with production-ready authentication and database tooling.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with React Tanstarter.
React Tanstarter is a minimal starter template for TanStack Start featuring React 19 with React Compiler, Better Auth for authentication, Drizzle ORM with PostgreSQL, and shadcn/ui components for rapid full-stack application development. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
React Tanstarter is made by Dotnize, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Dotnize has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags React Tanstarter with React, Tailwind, Drizzle ORM, Full-stack and Templates & Themes. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.
Yes. The React Tanstarter page embeds its live demo from tanstarter.nize.ph, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The React Tanstarter listing was last updated on October 8, 2025. That date is the listing's, not the repository's: check the repository's commits for recent activity.
Clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/dotnize/react-tanstarter), then follow the README. The React Tanstarter page shows the usual steps and a terminal block with the commands to copy.
Install dependencies with npm install or pnpm install, then run npm run dev. The README in the React Tanstarter repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. React Tanstarter is cloned from its own GitHub repository, so shadcn.io isn't involved. Browsing the page and its live demo need no account either; Pro adds the premium templates, the blocks and the MCP server.
Follow the deployment notes in the React Tanstarter README: the right host depends on its framework and any services it needs. The page's categories show what it is built for.
The React Tanstarter listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/dotnize/react-tanstarter), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on React Tanstarter's license in its repository, which shadcn.io does not set. Read the LICENSE file before you use it in a client or paid project, and ask the author if it is unclear.
Attribution follows React Tanstarter's license. Many permissive licenses ask you to keep the copyright notice and license text in your copy; its LICENSE file says exactly what.
No. The Pro license covers shadcn.io's own Pro code, blocks and premium templates. React Tanstarter is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Dotnize supports React Tanstarter, through its GitHub repository: read the docs, open an issue or look for discussions. shadcn.io does not maintain it.
Yes. Once you clone it, React Tanstarter is your own code: change the theme, add pages and connect your backend. It uses shadcn/ui, so you can also add more components the same way.
Yes. Components are free with a free account and the blocks are in Pro; both are copied into your project with the shadcn CLI. Check that React Tanstarter uses Tailwind CSS and the shadcn/ui setup (a components.json) before you add them, and pick the base library your project already uses.
Yes, with Pro. The shadcn.io MCP server's search_templates tool finds templates by what they are, and returns each one's repository and live demo, so your editor can set up React Tanstarter for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 14 other open source Templates & Themes templates like React Tanstarter, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/templates-and-themes.
Dotnize has no other templates in the collection.
Yes. The 14 premium templates (Solaris, Reframe Labs, Spherule and Max and more) are built by shadcn.io and come with every Pro plan, if you want maintained code with a design file.
