RSL

rsl is a tool which helps you to bootstrap your universal React application.

While developing your app with rsl you can achieve the same convenience as with next.js, but forget about any restrictions.

Features

1. Hot reloading (HMR) both on client and server. No more restarts.
2. Single webpack configuration entry for all the environments. You no longer need to create a dozen of webpack.config files.
3. Extremely simple CLI. When your project is set, just run npx rsl start and start developing.
4. Flexibility. With rsl you can configure your application any way you desire. While the project was initially made for React applications, it should also work for Angular or any other framework which supports SSR.

Example

Check out the examples folder for a sample project configuration.

Usage

1. npm install @atamore/rsl or yarn install @atamore/rsl
2. Add a rsl section to your package.json with the following fields:

"rsl": {
    "entry": "server.js",
    "client": "src/core/client/entry.js",
    "server": "src/core/server/entry.js",
    "webpack": "webpack/compose.js"
}

entry is a path to the file, which launches the server
client is a path to file, which initializes the client side of your app
server is a path to file, which handles SSR
webpack is a path to file, which generates the webpack configs

For more information about the exported modules please refer to the examples.

3. npx rsl start

• universal-webpack Works in a similar way, but is harder to configure and does not support hot reloading on the server.
