proact

This is an experiment to create a single source of truth to bootstrap, develop, package, and distribute universal and Electron React/Redux apps.

proact is a framework that attempts to make it easy to bootstrap an application, but also to make your application code ultimately more readable, maintanable, and production-ready.

Some view frameworks like proact as evil. The arguments are legitimate, but I grew sick of each of my applications having slightly different, slightly incompatible copies of boilerplate. My feeling is that by restricting applications to a subset of common dependencies and patterns, complexity over many applications can be reduced.

Components

• API server - done.
• babel config - done.
• eslint config - done (separate repo).
• Install instructions. TODO
• Upgrade instructions. TODO
• Universal server. TODO
• API Server documentation. TODO
• Fileserver / proxy. TODO
• Pluggable API and server. TODO

Install

Unfortunately babel plugins, webpack + plugins, and other dependencies (which?) must be installed to the project root:

(
  export PKG=proact;
  npm info "$PKG" peerDependencies --json | command sed 's/[\{\},]//g ; s/: /@/g' | xargs npm install --save-dev "$PKG"
)

webpack and babel really make a lot of assumptions about where plugins are residing, and for the most part assume that everything is under the project root.
