React Express Example
A basic example of using Express and React for both client-side and server-side rendering. This project makes use of a basic layout with a global react mount point, which differs from react-page where all of the html is rendered from React. One benefit of this approach is the ability to include a doctype.
How To
Run grunt browserify to compile the client-side code into app/public/js/output.js.
Start the Express server by running node app/server.js.
Tools Used
This project uses:
- node-jsx for transparently compiling files with JSX when requiring on the server-side
- Express for running the web server
- React for server-side and client-side rendering
- grunt-react with browserify to concatenate and compile the JSX for the client-side code
