This project was originally forked from https://github.com/darul75/web-react so massive thanks to darul75.

Another Webpack React Kit.

Because there are many React starter kits but some are so specific and difficult to take in hands.

Idea was to take in hands following stack :

• ES6 : and you will learn React with awesome ECM6 features.
• Webpack : amazing bundler, still to learn so much about it.
• React : choosed because I love idea of Virtual DOM.
• Flux : flux and used implementation is Alt
• EsLint: JS and JSX syntax validator.
• Express: Version 4.
• Mocha: Testing.

For a simple website with no server side it is really fine.

For a more complex website, an Express server is used but work is not finished.

• Server side React rendering is ready and done through React-Router
• Flux on server side has begin thanks to Iso and Alt feature to bootstrap your app with data.
• Some API server routes are just given as example.
• You can debug it on server side thanks to sourcemaps.
• NEW FEATURE : hot reloading of you code on server side too (node), it will patch silently without restarting your node server.

On both client/server Fetch request handler is used (for example on server side)

Hope you will enjoy.

CODE, DEBUG in an isomorphic JS way !

Try reload page, put wrong path, snapshot todo list...play, I will improve it later to show how it works.

DEV ONLY CLIENT

Webpack with hot changes loading but no own server, enough for a single presentation page app by instance. Port: 8080

See changes at http://127.0.0.1:8080

npm run dev

DEV ONLY CLIENT/SERVER

Let's use your own NodeJS server.

Start webpack in background with hot changes loading and debug in both client/server sides.

npm run dev-server-client

Then start your node server which is an express one in this case that will be launched in ES6 thanks to Babel.

npm run dev-server

or with debug nodejs mode :

npm run dev-server-debug

See changes at http://127.0.0.1:3000

PRODUCTION

Build production bundle both client and server.

npm run build

Run production client/server React/Express website.

npm run start

See it at http://127.0.0.1:3000
