React FLUX Boilerplate

Based on the architecture suggestions from Facebook, this boilerplate will help you deal with it. It has included the flux-react extension to React JS. Read more about FLUX over at Facebook Flux and I wrote a post about it too: React JS and FLUX.

How to use

• Clone the repo
• Run npm install
• Open dev/index.html, run python -m SimpleHTTPServer in the dev folder or set up your own server

Development

• Run gulp
• Any changes to app or styles folder will automatically rebuild to dev folder

Tests

• Run `gulp test -'./tests/App-test.js'
• Open test.html
• Any changes done to the test file or files in app folder will autoreload the browser

Run all tests with Karma

• Run npm test

Karma will launch Chrome and run the tests once. If you need to run tests on a server with PhantomJS, either change karma.conf.js to use PhantomJS or manually start it with: ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma start --single-run --browsers PhantomJS

Minify the code, ready for production

• Run gulp deploy
