Turborepo kitchen sink starter

This Turborepo starter is scaffolded at 2025/06/19 using the kitchen-sink template which is maintained by the Turborepo core team. It is heavily modified as a starter template for new Turborepos e-commerce projects but could also be used as a general-purpose monorepo starter.

This example also shows how to use Workspace Configurations.

What's inside?

This Turborepo includes the following packages and apps:

Apps and Packages

• express-template: an Express server
• next-template: a Next.js app
• vite-template: a Vite single page app
• remix-template: a Remix app
• @repo/eslint-config: ESLint configurations used throughout the monorepo
• @repo/typescript-config: tsconfig.json's used throughout the monorepo
• @repo/jest-presets: Jest configurations
• @repo/logger: isomorphic logger (a small wrapper around console.log)
• @repo/ui: shared UI components for frontend use.
  • A dummy React UI library (which contains <CounterButton> and <Link> components)
  • And shadcn/ui components (which contains <Button> and <Card> components)
  • Building the UI will require exporting the components in the package.json file.
    • For Vite apps, vite-tsconfig-paths package is required to ensure the UI components are properly built and available for use.
    • For Next.js apps, the next.config.ts file needs to have transpilePackages: ["@repo/ui"] to ensure the UI components are properly built and available for use.
  • Although not required, adding "paths": { "@repo/ui/*": ["../../packages/ui/src/*"] } in the tsconfig.json file of each app can help with TypeScript path resolution during development.

Each package and app is 100% TypeScript.

Utilities

This Turborepo has some additional tools already setup for you:

• TypeScript for static type checking
• ESLint for code linting
• Jest test runner for all things JavaScript
• Prettier for code formatting
• shadcn/ui for UI components
  • To use the CLI, run npx shadcn@latest add <component-name> in the @repo/ui package directory.
  • It can also be run at each app directory and the CLI will automatically add it to the shared @repo/ui package but each app will need its own components.json file.
• Tailwind CSS v4 for styling and to use shadcn/ui
  • Each app needs its own tailwind.config.js file and postcss.config.js file but they all extend from the shared @repo/ui/tailwind.config.js and @repo/ui/postcss.config.js files.
