🎉🎉🎉 Introducing Rekit Studio: a real IDE for React and Redux development
🎉🎉🎉 Using Rekit Studio in an Existing React Project
Rekit is a toolkit for building scalable web applications with React, Redux and React-router. It's an all-in-one solution for creating modern React apps.
It helps you focus on business logic rather than dealing with massive libraries, patterns, configurations etc.
Rekit creates apps using an opinionated folder and code structure. It's designed to be scalable, testable and maintainable by using feature oriented architecture, one action per file pattern. This ensures application logic is well grouped and decoupled.
Besides creating apps, Rekit provides powerful tools for managing the project:
- Rekit Studio: the real IDE for React, Redux development.
- Command line tools: besides Rekit Studio, you can use command line tools to create/rename/move/delete project elements like components, actions etc. It has better support for Rekit plugin system.
Below is a quick demo video of how Rekit works:
The demo contains two parts, which are examples in Redux's official website:
- Create a simple counter in 1 minute!
- Show the latest reactjs topics on Reddit using async actions.
You can also see the live demo at: http://demo.rekit.org
npm install -g rekit
This will install a global command rekit to the system. Rekit is developed and tested on npm 3+ and node 6+, so this is the prerequisite for using Rekit.
Create a new application
rekit create <app-name> [--sass] [--clean]
This will create a new app named app-name in the current directory. The --sass flag allows to use sass instead of default less as the CSS transpiler. The --clean flag is used to create a clean app without any sample code. After creating the app, you need to install dependencies and start the dev server:
cd app-name
npm install
npm start
It then starts three lightweight express servers by default:
- Webpack dev server: http://localhost:6075. This is the dev server your application is running on.
- Rekit Studio: http://localhost:6076. The IDE for Rekit projects.
- Build result test server: http://localhost:6077. This is the server for verifying the build result before deploying to production server.
To change the ports dev-servers running on, edit the rekit section in package.json:
{
...
"rekit": {
"devPort": 6075,
"studioPort": 6076,
"buildPort": 6077,
...
}
...
}
This repo contains multiple packages managed by yarn workspaces.
| Packages | Description |
|---|---|
| rekit-core |  Provide core APIs such as create components, rename actions, etc... |
| rekit |  CLI wrapper of rekit-core, create apps by cloning repo from rekit-boilerplate |
| rekit-studio |  Dedicated IDE for Rekit development, uses rekit-core to manage project too. |
| rekit-plugin-redux-saga |  Use redux-saga instead of redux-thunk for async actions. |
| rekit-plugin-selector |  Support selectors by Rekit cli. |
- It's production-ready but not a starter kit.
- Zero additional configuration needed after creating an app.
- Dedicated IDE for Rekit development.
- Command line tools to manage actions, reducers, components and pages.
- Embed build script and test server for the build result.
- Use Webpack 3 for bundling.
- Use Babel for ES2015(ES6)+ support.
- Use React hot loader for hot module replacement.
- Use Redux for application state management.
- Use React-router for routing and it's configured with Redux reducer.
- Use Webpack dll plugin to improve dev-time build performance.
- Use Less or Sass as CSS transpilers.
- Use mocha, enzyme for testing.
- Use istanbul for testing coverage report.
- Support Redux dev tools.
- Proxy to API in DEV like create-react-app. e.g. fetch(/api/<your path>)
