Information for Contributors

Is your app the right fit?

A real world app should ideally be publicly accessible and used by real people in a production environment. As such, boilerplate, starter kits, libraries, and small demo/example projects are not really a good fit.
Ideally most of the code should be frontend-oriented, in order to focus on React. Small backends may be OK, but should constitute the minority of the codebase.

That being said, don't hesitate to submit a pull request if you meet the criteria!

How to add a Real World App

Given a GitHub repo for an app githubuser/foo:

# Inside the project root:
git submodule add -b master git@github.com:githubuser/foo.git apps/foo

Updating the apps submodules to latest

The apps in apps/ are git submodules. Git submodules are locked to a revision and don't stay in sync with the latest revision.

To update the revisions, run:

# This will take some time:
git submodule foreach git pull origin master
