You can use a boilerplate as the starting point for your app by creating a new
Ignite CLI project with the --boilerplate (or -b) flag:
ignite new MyIgniteApp -b {boilerplate name}
Ignite CLI comes with a default boilerplate.
It creates your app with a host of opinions and options. This boilerplate reflects the way that we at Infinite Red prefer to start our apps. This is also Ignite CLI's default boilerplate; if you don't select a one, Ignite CLI will use this.
You can opt out of a boilerplate entirely by passing the option --no-boilerplate. This will skip installing a boilerplate and only create an ignite/ignite.json file in your project; the bare minimum needed to become Ignite CLI sentient.
We intend to release new boilerplates as best practices change. For example, React Navigation is a great new navigation library that we recently released in our brand new ignite-ir-boilerplate boilerplate.
