Generator-redux NPM

Redux and Redux-devtools CLI

CLI for Redux: next-gen functional Flux/React with devtools. This is intended to be the successor to my existing generator-flux that was based on vanilla FB flux.

Getting Started

What is Redux?

It's "Atomic Flux with hot reloading", a next-generation take on the Flux pattern with a few core philosophical design differences, including:

Preserves the benefits of Flux, but adds other nice properties thanks to its functional nature.
Prevents some of the anti-patterns common in Flux code.
Works great in universal (aka "isomorphic") apps because it doesn't use singletons and the data can be rehydrated. ...

Features include in this Generator:

Redux functional application architecture
Redux-DevTools configured and enabled when in dev mode
WebPack for build pipeline and dev server awesomeness
Babel transpiler so you can use bleeding edge language features
PostCSS preprocessor with autoprefixer support

Coming soon:

React-router
Choice of UI Framework (Material UI, Elemental UI, React-Bootstrap?)
Storage options: localStorage and Firebase/Parse to start
Test scaffolding for actions, stores, and react components

Prerequisites

You must have Node.js w/NPM installed. I recommend installing via homebrew, but you should be able to use the pre-built installers if you prefer.

Also, generator-redux is a Yeoman generator. If you do not have Yeoman installed, first run:

$ npm install -g yo

Installing the generator

To install generator-redux from npm, run:

$ npm install -g generator-redux

Finally, initiate the generator:

$ yo redux

Configuration Options

During install-time, you will be prompted to enter some information to help create the project structure and package.json file:

Application name (string): A human-readable name for your project, i.e. "My Redux Application"
Application Description (string): Describe your application in one sentence, to be used in package.json and the generated README.md
Port (number): choose a port to run your development server on (defaults to :3000)
