Raas
React as a service.
What
Generating html server side is a wonderful idea! You can reuse your client-side React components on the server. You can even emulate on the server a browser environment in order to use the huge amount of client-side libraries that can help you in generating a rich HTML experience.
Why
- periodic/scheduled reports
- embed HTML in your email campaigns
- reuse yor client side components on a server
Installation
Using npm:
$ npm install --save @raas/raas
Easy setup
The following example shows how to startup with a minimal setup with:
- raas
- express
- a HelloWorld react component
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
ReactService,
ExpressConnector,
Route,
Renderers,
FileStorage
} from '@raas/raas';
import HelloWorldComponent from './HelloWorld';
export default app => {
const reactService = new ReactService({
connector: new ExpressConnector({
application: app
}),
routes: [new Route({
path: '/test/hello-world',
async: false,
priority: 0,
renderer: Renderers.REACT_DOM,
component: HelloWorldComponent
}),]
});
return reactService;
};Esdoc
Raas comes with a detailed documentation for developers that can be found in the local folder esdoc
