generator-react-webpack-alt

Generator-React-Webpack - with Flux Support (using alt.js)

What is it for?

This generator can be used to create and manage projects that use React, Webpack and Flux (using alt.js as implementation). It depends on generator-react-webpack as a base and extends it to create new stores and actions.

What is included?

Generator-React-Webpack-Alt includes support for creating new stores (and tests), as well as the creation of actions, components and sources.

It also has support for the the features that are available in its parent project, generator-react-webpack. This includes the run-configuration, webpack, esLint and test-environment.

Planned Features and updates

There are currently some features missing from the generator. These will be available in a later version:

Creation of Components like in Generator-React-Webpack
Creation of Datasources
Creation of Action/Store-Pairs via a single subgenerator (react-webpack-alt:all).
Automatic inclusion of generated actions into stores when using subgenerator "all"
Creation of Unittests for Actions
Add a correct versioning for generator-react-webpack so we dont need to draw the current git master.

Installation

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-react-webpack-alt

Setting up projects

# Create a new directory, and `cd` into it:
mkdir my-new-project && cd my-new-project

# Run the generator
yo react-webpack-alt

Generating new components

yo react-webpack-alt:component my/namespaced/components/name

Generating new stores and actions

# After setup of course :)
# cd my-new-project
yo react-webpack-alt:action my/namespaced/actions/name
yo react-webpack-alt:store my/namespaced/stores/name

# Create a new store, as well as a dedicated action for it
yo react-webpack-alt:all my/namespaced/functions/name

Generating sources

Stores in alt.js can use so called sources to make the usage of async actions easier for you. Please look at the alt.js documentation for this feature to see how this can be implemented.

You can create an empty source by using the following command:

yo react-webpack-alt:source my/namespaced/sources/name

You will then be able to include it in your stores via

import NameSource from 'sources/my/namespaces/sources/nameSource';
NameSource.remoteAction();

Usage

Please take a look at react-webpack-template for an in depth explanation or use npm run to get a list of all commands available for building and running your application.

Basics are:

npm start: Will start up the dev webserver
npm test: Run unit tests
npm run dist: Create the packed version
