redux-elm-boilerplate

[jmarceli]

Hi, Based on https://github.com/mxstbr/react-boilerplate which is (probably) one of the most popular redux boilerplates I manage to create similar repo for redux-elm named redux-elm-boilerplate.

I'm definitely not an expert but I think that my repo might be used as a simple showcase for anyone who is getting started with Elm Architecture in Redux. I've provided all the features available in original react-boilerplate but implemented according to the redux-elm (with some IMO necessary modifications).

Getting any feedback is more than welcome.

Hello!

Thanks @jmarceli, your contribution is much appreciated.

We actually have quite robust boilerplate already, (will mention that in readme and docs in next release). You may find it here, we basically wanted to have a boilerplate which supports:

• react-native
• react
• server side render
• hot reloading & redux tooling
• routing

We didn't care too much about stuff like CSS and theming though so I believe this is definitely part where your boilerplate is more powerful.

Would you be willing looking into that and discussing what can be (should be) improved/reduced?

The idea is that we would have one official boilerplate which anyone could use but we don't want to fork current stuff like redux-boilerplate or react-boilerplate since redux-elm does not suit that well with idiomatic redux.

The boilerplate which I've published is just a part/base for my app (which I decided to build on top of redux-elm). I've needed simple only client-side app (used as Rails API client), because as for now I have no option to support server side rendering nor react-native (that's why I didn't use your boilerplate). My main goal is to integrate redux-form and react-router-redux with redux-elm. I'll continue to update my repo and after finishing my app I'll check if any of mine solutions might be applicable for redux-boilerplate.

Mean while I'm also updating my redux-elm-form and redux-elm-router examples. I might turn them into documentation chapters if you will find them useful.

Oh I didn't mean to discourage you! I mean you did really great job and I would be really happy if you kept working on redux-elm-boilerplate because that's something what will eventually people really need.

Anyway, feel free to mention me in any issue filed in your repo so that we can consolidate the effort.

[jmarceli]

OK. I'll probably do that as soon as I have some more time to work on it. The first "improvement" I'm planning to do is running a demo somewhere (maybe on Heroku) because IMO that's the easiest way to show what to expect from boilerplate code.
