ReasonReact Starter

A starter for building universal web apps with ReasonReact.

Far from refined. Used as a basis to learn ReasonML and POC for server side rendering with ReasonReact

Features

• ReasonReact
• SSR - Server side rendering
• Webpack
• HMR - Hot Module Reloading
• PWA - Progressive Web Applications
• React Router v4 bindings
• React Helmet bindings
• React Fela bindings (bs-react-fela) plus custom bindings that adds server rendered styles and the ability to use plugins
• ReactGA bindings

Quick start

• Use install dependencies: yarn
• For dev mode with hmr run yarn dev or npm run dev, open browser, the app should be running at: http://localhost:8080. (If you get errors in terminal run bsb -make-world)
• To build run: yarn build or npm run build
• To build and run use: yarn build or npm run build followed by yarn start or npm start

TODO

• Better HMR
• Optimized Webpack builds
• Graphql client - Reason-Apollo or ReGql until official Apollo Client and React Apollo binding are released
• Code splitting - Not sure how to accomplish this yet.
• Explore binding to another router universal-router?
• Use Javascript for express server - bs-express is missing a few things or just use razzle.
