Usage with RedwoodJS

Get started with a template

The easiest way to get started is to use one of the templates. All templates are configured correctly: they include PostCSS setup, ColorSchemeScript and other essential features. Some templates also include additional features like Jest, Storybook and ESLint.

If you are not familiar with GitHub, you can find a detailed instruction on how to bootstrap a project from a template on this page.

import '@mantine/core/styles.css';

import { FatalErrorBoundary, RedwoodProvider } from '@redwoodjs/web';
import { RedwoodApolloProvider } from '@redwoodjs/web/apollo';
import FatalErrorPage from 'src/pages/FatalErrorPage';

      <ColorSchemeScript />
      <MantineProvider>
        <RedwoodApolloProvider>
