freact v0.0.0

freact

| frēˈakt |

To freely start a new React project.

Quick Use

Go to the freact store.

npm i -g freact

Do some React in a file called app.js.

var React = require("react");
var ReactDOM = require("react-dom");

var App = function() {
  return {
    render: function() {
      return <h1>Holy cow it worked!</h1>
    }
  };
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.body);

Serve up that React.

freact start

Slow Use

TODO

• freact new <name-of-project> Creates new directory and populates with boilerplate code.
  • Defaults to current directory.
• freact start <port-number> Attempts to serve app.js out of current directory.
  • Defaults to port 8000

Notes

• Uses a tiny express server.
• Kinda slow to reload because the javascript is recompiled with every request to /freact-javascript.
