## What it is
A barebones starter kit for building applications with Relay Classic, Facebook's GraphQL client for React. The repository is deprecated and archived, kept only for historical reference since Relay Modern replaced it.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a Relay Classic GraphQL React app
- learn how Relay pre-1.0 was wired up with a GraphQL server
- reference example of Relay Classic project structure

## When to choose
- you must maintain a legacy Relay Classic codebase
- you need historical reference for pre-1.0 Relay patterns

## When to avoid
- starting any new Relay project - use Relay Modern instead
- you want maintained tooling or up-to-date dependencies

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: graphql, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: -
