React/Flux/Rails Skeleton

Use this project to get started with Flux and React very quickly. You can deploy to Heroku within seconds of cloning this repository.

Why?

Flux without frameworks (and with!) has lots of boilerplate code. Getting JSX/commonJS/Rails playing nicely can be a challenge - This does it all for you using a sustainable approach.
