React 16 SSR Template

Features
- Content served by ExpressJS using the EJS view engine

Development
To start development, follow these steps:
$ git clone https://github.com/rherwig/template-react-16-ssr.git
$ cd template-react-16-ssr
$ npm i
$ npm start
This fires up the development server on port 3000.
You can now choose to either start developing your react application or to enhance the express server according to your needs.
The react app's entry point is src/shared/App.js and the express
server is started from src/index.js.
For more information on how the specific parts of the application work, please refer to the documentation in the code.
Building for Production
In order to build for production and run the finished project, execute the following:
$ npm run build
$ node public/index
This bundles and optimizes your app and runs it from the public/
directory.
