IsoStack

This project was started with the react isomorphic boilerplate as an isomorphic application in React.js.

Stack

React.js
Webpack
Express
react-router
Babel
Jade
npm-run-all

Installation instructions

Prereqs

Git Node

In the project's directory, run the following commands:

 $ npm install
 $ npm start

In Windows npm can not yet run operation in parallel so we add in npm-run-all
Change the start command in package.json to:
"start": "npm-run-all --parallel watch-js dev-server server",

 $ npm install
 $ npm install --save-dev npm-run-all
 $ npm start

When the servers are started, visit http://localhost:3000 to see a Hello world page.

Next steps:

Add flux.
Drop in better CSS
Improve the build task system. Using npm scripts is definitely the simplest but a quick look at the package.json shows how complicated it can quickly become.
Separate out dev and prod environments using Jade and multiple webpack configuration files
Improve the hierarchy of the folders. server is a mess right now and should be cleaned up/separated into a structure that makes more sense and is easier to maintain.
Make the server rendering and client rendering asynchronous
Parse data from static json files and populate on page
Add in SuperAgent for retrieving that data live
Form support for sending info back through webapi
Add registration/authentication/authorization (g+/Facebook/custom)
Upload files
