React App Boilerplate

Start developing React JS applications easily with the included tooling. Using gulp with browserify and jasmine for testing.

Read more about how it works at: React JS workflow, part 2

Notes

The boilerplate is minimalistic, meaning you have to expand on the current workflow for handling static assets etc.

Development

• Run NODE_ENV=development gulp
• Go to localhost:8889 to display the app
• Go to localhost:8889/testrunner.html to see your tests
• Any changes to app or styles folder will automatically rebuild to build folder
• Both tests and application changes will refresh automatically in the browser
• Run gulp test to run all tests with phantomJS and produce XML reports

Minify the code, ready for production

• Run NODE_ENV=production gulp deploy

Directory

• build/: Where your automatically builds to. This is where you launch your app in development
