Example Javascript ES6 project with React, React Router, jQuery, Flux (Alt) and webpack.

This example is a medium complexity single-page application, I’ll be assuming you’re familiar with Webpack, React, alt, CommonJS. I hope the example will give you some inspiration.

Another simpler, more detailed tutorial，here.

• Single page Application
• Modular design
• Asynchronously loading file
• ES6
• React
• Flux

Make sure you have installed NodeJS and NPM first and that you can run them from the command line.

• Run npm install first to install dependencies

Start the Webpack dev server. The server setting in webpack.config.js.

npm run watch

Open url http://localhost:9090/.

Build the project.

npm run dist

Start the Webpack dev server. The server setting in server.js.

npm run server

Open url http://localhost:19010/.

• React
• Babel
• React Router
• jQuery
• Flux(Alt)
• webpack

• webpack-dev-server (Development)
• pushstate-server (Publishing)

var webpack         = require('webpack'),
HtmlWebpackPlugin   = require('html-webpack-plugin'),
path                = require('path'),
staticResourcePath  = path.join(__dirname, 'static'),
srcPath             = path.join(__dirname, 'src'),
nodeModulesPath     = path.join(__dirname, 'node_modules');
var isProduction = function () {
    return process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production';
}

var modulePath = {...
    },
    moduleAlias = isProduction() ?
                  { // production
                    ...
                    } :
                  { // dev
                      ... },
    noParse = isProduction() ?
                  [modulePath.React,
                    modulePath.alt,
                    modulePath.jquery,
                    modulePath.showdown,
                    modulePath.React_addons,
                    'react-mixin'
                  ] : [];

moduleAlias will using the full path instead of the alias when the project is published, webpack will use smaller libraries to build project.

noParse matched against the full resolved request. This can boost the performance when ignoring big libraries and speed up compilation.

// Project config
var page = {
  settings: {
    AjaxDomain: 'mobile.' + 'tonghs.me'
  }
};

var defineStatePlugin = new webpack.DefinePlugin({
    __DEV__: JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? 'false' : 'true')),
    __AjaxDomain: JSON.stringify(page.settings.AjaxDomain)
});

Write project configuration in WebPack.config.js , or you can to distinguish the development mode and release mode in this file. That you can...

// src/utils/ajaxMapping.js
var Domain = __AjaxDomain;

export const Ajax={...

// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
    target: 'web',
    cache: true,
    entry: {
            ...
            common  : ['jquery', 'react', 'react-router', 'alt', 'react-mixin', 'utils/titleHelper']
    },
    resolve: {
        ...
    },
    output: {
        ...
    },

    module: {
            ...
    },
    plugins: [
        new webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin('common', 'common.js'),
        new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
            inject: true,
            excludeChunks: ['test'],
            template: 'src/index.html'
        }),
        ...
        defineStatePlugin
    ],
    debug: isProduction() ? false : true,
    devtool: isProduction() ? '' 
                            : 'eval-cheap-module-source-map',
    devServer: {
        ...
    }
};

These configurations you can click here to view them, Plugins, Loaders.

CommonsChunkPlugin is specifically for bundling our separate dependencies together in one common bundle.

HtmlWebpackPlugin will take our index.html as a template and automatically inject the scripts tags to load our common.js and module.js bundles.

devtool You can choose a developer tool to enhance debugging. eval-cheap-module-source-map allows you to get the source code to debug, close devtool in publishing, you will get the smallest js files.

1. The server(React-router) receives a request: http://localhost:19010/items.
2. src/routes.js find projectList app.
3. app/project/list.js asynchronously loading of style sheets and component.
4. In components/project/list, send Ajax in componentDidMount after the initial rendering, the data will receive and save data through ListInfoAction, render this page.
