Isomorphic Javascript app with React

Reactor Demo App

Demo isomorphic app using reactor-core and React.

Warning: This is mostly a playground, I'm breaking things often!

Shows how reactor-core helps simplify putting together the core pieces (async components, pages, routing, pushState). Adds in webpack, bower, and a simple api server to demo some of reacts abilities.

Installation

npm run first-run

And start it:

npm start

And head to localhost:3111.

If you get an error regarding EMFILE, this is because browserify is trying to watch too many files for your OS. This is a temporary fix:

ulimit -n 10000; npm start

What it does

• Renders app from server, continues app on client
• Routing, Async Page components, pushState
• Super simple API demo
• Cortex to handle data
• Webpack to manage assets

Todo

• Expore moving to immutable-object
• State handler to post back to API
• Better example components
• 500 pages
• Link component
• Testing
• Forms
• ...
