Reatty

Out-of-box:

DEMO: You can find it here

But Reatty requires at least mock DB, so gh-pages demo doesn't work without mock data

What is it?

Simple, but robust boilerplate.

"Create-react-app/Next.js are better! Why you created this stuff?"

Yeah, I know, they are better 😉
Personally, I spent more time on customizing Next.js than was spent on implementation of this starter.

I like Create-react-app and Next, but for me - these "template-killers" aren't always the best solution.

Why I need it?

Many templates currently aren't 100% ready - some setups have old dependencies versions (boilerplates with webpack v1.* is a good example), other templates are too small and you have to write setup code by yourself.

Also, this setup isn't a "template-killer", it's just a robust setup that works.

Pros:

• You have already some code pre-written.
• Code was written following React&Redux concepts (containers/components).
• Latest dependencies.
• Few webpack chunks + App is ready for offline.

Cons:

• You have already some code pre-written. But you always can remove it :)
• No SSR (currently).

Includes:

• React and Redux
• React-Router + React-Router-Redux
• JSON-server for dev purposes
• Redux-thunk
• Fetch polyfill
• Semantic-ui-react and normalize.css for UI
• Store2 - LocalStorage access
• Webpack 2, babel (stage-0 + decorators), Redux-dev-tools
• Jest - awesome library for easy testing.

Usage

git clone https://github.com/Metnew/reatty.git reatty
cd reatty && rm -rf .git  
npm install

Run:

npm run dev # run app in dev mode 
npm run db  # run mock db for app(from another process) 

Build:

npm run build # build app 

It generates dist folder.

Test:

npm run test # run tests with Jest
