There is a version with flow
enabled, since everyone is using it these days and quite a lot of libraries has direct support, I've also created a branch where flow
is supported. This setup allows you for example to see an action and theirs data in correctly in reducers switch statement, doesn't let you to dispatch and undefined action or to see state in a mapStateToProp

Application has very few dependencies, so it’s most probably very easy to understand when you scan through the code, but there is at least few steps you should know
Application is divided into two parts. One is pure React front-end, powered by webpack-dev-server
in development mode.
To start this application run command below and open your app on http://localhost:8080
npm start
To test your application, run
npm run test
- single run - good for CI or precooknpm run test:watch
- watches for changes, good for development
If you don’t plan to connect to your own backend, you should be just fine
Second part of this application is back end written in Express. This is a place, where you provide API for front-end or/and server yours production application.
To start backend server, run npm command bellow and open http://localhost:8181
npm run server
This is also watching for changes, so when you update some code on backend, you don’t have to restart the server, it does that automatically
Every call which goes to /api
is proxied to this backend so for example when you make a request to /api/locales
on front-end, it will go to this express backend server using the same path
Running npm run build
will create production ready application into your dist
folder. All you need to do is make this dist
folder publicly available. You can use surge.sh
as described bellow to do so.
Included Express server is preconfigured to serve /dist
folder. All you need to do is run npm run server
on your production server. The same is happening automatically, when you deploy to Heroku (It executes this command from Procfile
This is also good to run on your local computer to ensure, that your application is running as it should.
Current production size is 205kb and 56.8kb gziped
Simple, single-command web publishing. Publish HTML, CSS, and JS for free, without leaving the command line.
- Don't forge to install Surge
npm i surge -g
- Run deployment command -
npm run surge
Heroku works out of the box, just use "deploy to heroku" button
