There are many starter kits that will help you get started with React and Redux. This is the one created by, maintained by and used by Atomic Jolt. Atomic Jolt uses this as application as a starting place for our Ruby on Rails React starter application and our Firebase React starter appliction.
Make sure to install git and npm before you start then:
- git clone https://github.com/atomicjolt/react_firebase_starter_app.git my_project_name
- Rename .env.example to .env and change the values as desired. The default should be fine.
- npm install
- Sign up for a Firebase account
- Copy your Firebase database url and add it to .env
- Start server with:
npm run hot
then visit http://localhost:8080
Source code lives in the client directory. Modify html and js files in that directory to build your application.
React code can be found in client/js. We use Redux and the React-Router.
All html files live in client/html. The build process will properly process ejs in any html files as well as process markdown for files that end in .md. All front matter in .md files will be available to the ejs templates. See about.md for an example.
Karma and Jasmine are used for testing. To run tests run:
npm run test
Inside the client directory run:
npm-check-updates
- Install the s3_website gem:
`gem install s3_website`

###IAM Policy:
