Kickass Toolkit is a set of finely crafted and curated tools for rapid development of modern applications based on React and it's ecosystem.
It is a collection of multiple standalone libraries:
📦 Out-of-the-box: data fetching, authentication, subscription, low level api hooks
🔌 Backend agnostic: Connect to any backend (built-in pluggins planned)
📝 Written in Typescript: Get all the goodies which TS provides
📉 Boilerplate-free: Keeps your code nice and clean
🔍 Thoroughly tested: All code meets quality standards
🎨 Headless: Works with any UI
We have created Kickass Toolkit because we are scratching our own itch. Let's be real, developers are lazy. Starting a new project is a boring and repetitive task which always has to be done. This is where Kickass Toolkit kicks in.
By default Kickass Toolkit is unopinionated about your UI or buissines logic but it is strongly opinionated about three parts:
- Data fetching
- Authentication and Authorization
- Subscriptions
It is our opinion that those are most important parts of modern web application and that should be handled in a robust way by following industry best practices.
Furthermore Kickass Toolkit provides you with collection React utils which expose varius hooks, components and factories which make your everyday life easier.
This repository is set up as monorepo and it uses follwing tools:

- Volta as tool and node version manager
- TypeScript for static type checking
- ESLint for code linting
- Prettier for code formatting
- Husky for git hooks
- Commitlint and ConfigConventional for commit messages check
By default this monorepo is split in two types of workspaces:
apps: which consists of docs website and various playgroundspackages: which consists of various libraries and shared configs
