## What it is
A collection of fullstack GraphQL boilerplate starter projects combining React with Apollo Client on the frontend and graphql-yoga-based Node.js servers on the backend. It provides minimal, basic, and advanced templates (including authentication and realtime subscriptions) that can be scaffolded via the GraphQL CLI.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a fullstack react and graphql app quickly
- starter template for apollo client with a graphql server
- learn how to build a fullstack graphql application
- scaffold a graphql server with database and subscriptions
- example project for react apollo tutorial
- starting point for building a graphql api with node

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, community-blessed starting point for a React + Apollo + Node GraphQL stack
- you are following the How to GraphQL React/Apollo tutorial and want matching code
- you need a tiny scaffold you can extend yourself

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained or up-to-date boilerplate - the repo is officially deprecated and unmaintained
- you want current best practices with modern tooling - use prisma-examples or newer starters instead
- you require a license for commercial use - the repository has no license
