#React-Router + Express Boilerplate

Built with browserHistory in mind, it has a node server running on port 3000 with a wildcard (*) route to direct any incoming request to index.html.

If you want to define your own /api for use in your app, make sure to use the controller above the wildcard to adhere to the rule of priority in routing.

##Installation

  1. Fork or clone this repo as needed.
  2. npm install
  3. npm start for the development server

  • Compiled js is piped to the public/ folder next to our defined index.html(not auto generated yet).
  • src/ holds the react components, make sure everything is relevant to index.js.

##TODO

  • Gotta make this deployment ready with a few scripts; most likely specifically for Heroku.
