simple-react-app

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

But you still get it.

Simple base app with react, react-router, hot-reload & tailwind, postcss.

npm i -g edxi-react-app to install the package.

edxi-react-app folderName to start the boilerplate into folderName folder.

[ Or ]

if you're using [email protected] or above, you can simply run npx edxi-react-app folderName , without the need to install the package globally.

What is this

This is a base project that you can use to jumpstart your react apps, it works similarly to create-react-app, just install the package globally and use it to create as many projects as you want (check How to install for detailed instructions).

How to install

You can use both npm or yarn, the version I used to create this project are:

$ node -v ; npm -v ; yarn -v
v8.8.1
5.4.2
1.2.1

If you just freshly installed yarn/npm you are good to go, else you might need to upgrade, for npm I use n

npm install -g n

to install it and after that select at least the stable version (what I used).

n stable

and now you have the latest stable version of node&npm.

npm i -g edxi-react-app to install this package globally, from there you will be able to jumpstart as many boilerplates as you wish.

edxi-react-app folderName to create a react boilerplate on the folderName folder. By default all dependencies are already installed, just cd folderName and start hacking.

yarn start / npm start to start dev server with hot reload, it's live on localhost:3000 .

yarn run build / npm run build to build prod bundle, it includes both treeshaking and uglify to optimize the code as much as possible.

yarn test / npm test run the tests with Jest and Enzyme, by default the test included only check for the correct render of base components & routes, all are passing.

Tests

The testing environment is written in Jest and Enzyme. The included tests are very basic and only check the proper render of base components + routes, there are no snapshot tests, I did not feel they were needed being the components really basic, at the first change they would need to be updated, imho setting the wrong approach of "hey tests are broken, let's regenerate snapshots again". While still basic, the default tests are easy to manage and expand, providing a smoother curve into testing with JavaScript and React.
