Ask HN: Is there a create-react-app option that does as much as ngx-rocket?

Hey everyone!

I recently came across ngx-rocket (https://ngx-rocket.github.io/home) which does a pretty good job at creating a fully functional Angular app with a a lot of the bootstrapping done for you.

Does anyone know if there is something similar for React and widely used like create-react-app (CRA)?

I've seen a --template option on CRA, but I've been unable to find a template gallery/library.

From what I gather, redux, redux-saga, axios, bootstrap, etc (to name a few) would be pretty standard frameworks to add.

Let me know what you've found!

    I added axios when I made a small CRA app, it was the only thing I was tempted to add. The kind of people who just wrote their 12th blog post about how "I finally understand monads this time" might want redux; if I had any question about how to handle states v. props I might add mobx.

    I need a CSS framework like I need a brain tumor. With CSS you can learn CSS and make a web site look like you want. With bootstrap you can learn CSS and learn bootstrap and almost make a web site look like you want.
