Full-Stack React SSR Application Template

This repository is a full-stack sample web application based on React+TypeScript+Babel+Webpack+Jest (+Redux+Express) that creates a simple whole-website architecture with Server-Side Rendering (SSR), and provides the foundational services, components, and plumbing needed to get a basic web application up and running.

Demo

Server runs on http://localhost:3000

Getting Started

You will need to have node setup on your machine. That will output the built distributables to ./dist/* and ./public/*.html.

Step 1. Use NPM (Locate your current directory of project, and enter the following command.) or download the latest version from Github. For nodejs you have to install some dependencies.

$ sudo npm install fullstack-react-ssr-app-template

Or clone the repo to get all source files including build scripts:

$ git clone git://github.com/xizon/fullstack-react-ssr-app-template.git

Step 2. First, using an absolute path into your "fullstack-react-ssr-app-template/" folder directory.

$ cd /{your_directory}/fullstack-react-ssr-app-template

Step 3. Before doing all dev stuff make sure you have Node 10+ installed. After that, run the following code in the main directory to install the node module dependencies.

$ sudo npm install

Step 4. Commonly used commands:

Debug application. It can be checked separately as TypeScript without compiling and packaging behavior.

$ npm run check

To use webpack to bundle files.

$ npm run build

Run the following commands for local testing and code inspection. You can see that the server is running. (Run the Express server only.). Using Ctrl + C to stop it.

$ npm run dev

Step 5. When you done, this will spin up a server that can be accessed at

http://localhost:3000

The new code is recommended to be bundled before debugging.

Step 6 (Optional). Unit Testing

$ npm run test

💡 Note:

a) ERROR: npm update check failed.

Solution:

$ sudo chown -R $USER:$(id -gn $USER) /Users/{username}/.config

b) ERROR: Node sass version 6.x.x is not compatible with ^ 4.x.x.

Solution:

$ npm install node-sass@4.14.1

c) If you upgrade the version of Node, please execute the following code:

$ sudo npm install
$ sudo npm rebuild node-sass

Deploy on Custom Server

You can use PM2 to deploy to Nginx server, see the example poemkit
