react-embedded

A tool to build standalone React component that embeds in publishing platforms like Wordpress.

This project is in its early phase. Please use this to test, improve,..., but be aware that there might be bugs or it might not work as you'd expect it to.

## Install (after initialising an npm environment)

npm i -D react-embedded

Edit your package.json

{
  "name":"AppName",
  "scripts": {
    "start":"rembedded",
    "init":"rembedded:init"
  }
}

## Initialise a React-Embedded app

npm run init first-app

## Run

npm start

This will run a server at localhost:8080, where you will be able to view your app

Why ?

React is a language that allows quick building of user interfaces. The only problem is that it takes a lot of configuration, making it difficult to just copy/paste React apps onto publishing platforms like Wordpress.

This very simple tool does just that.

### todo:

• take into account a directory: means that it has to take decisions on a specific file structure ✌️
• Choose minified/non-minified version, as Wordpress messes up the charset with JS, it's best to access main js libs from outside. ✍️
• Bundling Error handling
