neal-react

neal-react is a collection of reactjs components to quickly build landing pages. I found that using hosted services like Launchrock doesn't give me enough flexibility, but frameworks like Bootstrap are too low-level and lead to lots of repetitive code. I wanted something in between these two extremees.

Main components:

Third-Party integrations

Documentation

The best way to learn about the components is to look at the code for the sample page. But, basically:

npm install --save neal-react

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { App, Page, Section, Hero, Navbar, HorizontalSplit } from "neal-react";

ReactDOM.render((
  <App googleAnalyticsKey="UA-42490151-3">
    <Page>
      <Navbar brand="hello">{ /* Your nav */ }</Navbar>
      <Hero className="text-xs-center"> <h1>{ /* Content */ }</h1> </Hero>
      <Section heading="Hello!">
        <HorizontalSplit padding="md"> { /* Content */ } </HorizontalSplit>
      </Section>
      { /* More ... */ }
    </Page>
  </App>
), document.getElementById("main"));

Other dependencies that should be included from a CDN:

jQuery
Bootstrap v4 Javascript (https://cdn.rawgit.com/twbs/bootstrap/v4-dev/dist/js/bootstrap.js)
Font Awesome

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/twbs/bootstrap/v4-dev/dist/js/bootstrap.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

Custom Styling

Styling can be overwritten by setting the appropriate SASS Variables in your code.

Using with Structor

Structor is a visual development environment for node.js web applications with React UI. You can find a boilerplate project for neal on the Structor Marketplace and the corresponding code in this repository. A big thanks to ispelon for implementing this.

Deploying to AWS

If you are using third-party integrations like Stripe or Typeform to capture user information there is no need to write your on backend and you can simply copy your public/ directory to an AWS S3 bucket and enable Static Website Hosting. You can use a script such as this to minifify and upload:

#! /usr/bin/env bash

S3_BUCKET=s3://www.nealjs.com
BASE_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/../" && pwd)"
cd $BASE_DIR

# Build the assets
webpack -p

# Upload to S3
aws s3 cp $BASE_DIR/public/ $S3_BUCKET --recursive
