React-Redux-Scaffold

Client side scaffold with React-Redux on the frontend and Express server to serve built files in the production mode. Scaffold supports production and development modes, with Best Developer Experience ( DX ) by Hot-Loading for the client side application. There will be no need to restart during development, hence making the experience smooth and decrease the delivery time.

Quick Start

Just to check everything is working

# Install the dependencies
npm install

# Build the client 
npm run build:production

# Start the project ( it will build the client, before starting the server )
npm start

# Open web browser at http://localhost:8080
# You will see a sample Single Page Application

Development

Scaffold provides two npm scripts, execute both in seperate terminals

# Start client in development mode with hot code loading,
npm run start:development

Hit frontend dev server to load application in the browser, enjoy developing :)

Refer to the react-hot-boilerplate for further description.

Production

Scaffold provides two production scripts

# Build the client for production deployment
npm run build:production

# Build the client for production deployment and start the backend server with 'forever' package
npm start

Backend server will start at http://localhost:8080 or the value provided in PORT environment variable, inside forever process and bundled frontend client will be served from the dist directory.

Known Limitations

Hot Reloading of the Routes ( Browser refresh is needed! ).
