React Frontend Boilerplate

This is a little react project boilerplate for frontend-only projects. I made this so I can quickly made mini projects when bored.

Live Demo

Getting started

Configuration options I suggest you look at:

Through the built in generator

Make sure to have this package installed globally:

npm install -g generator-react-frontend-boilerplate

You can then inside any folder generate a boilerplate:

generate-react-frontend # generate scaffold
grf                     # shorthand for same command

Which will generate the followng scaffold:

├── LICENSE.md
├── README.md
├── package.json
├── .gitignore
├── .travis.yml
├── .babelrc
├── public
│   └── index.html
├── src
│   ├── main.js
│   ├── state
│   │   ├── body.js
│   │   └── head.js
│   ├── stateless
│   │   ├── body-views.js
│   │   ├── footer-views.js
│   │   ├── head-views.js
│   │   └── lorem-ipsum-view.js
│   └── styles
│       ├── hamburgers
│       │   ├── LICENSE
│       │   └── hamburgericon.scss
│       └── styles.scss
└── webpack.config.js

Through git

Git clone this repository and npm install.

git clone https://github.com/actuallymentor/react-frontend-boilerplate my-app
cd my-app
npm install

Compiling the frontend

The frontend source in frontend/src is compiled using webpack.

For development ( with broswersync and file watching ):

npm start

For the generation of deployment ready files:

npm run build

Note that webpack with --watch will trigger browsersync, this does not mean your backend is running. Only that your frontend is statically served.
