React Static Boilerplate (RSB) is a boilerplate and tooling for creating modern stand-alone web applications (aka SPAs) for a serverless architecture. RSB significantly reduces cost by eliminating the need for servers such as EC2 instances because the entire site can be hosted directly from CDN (Firebase, GitHub Pages, Amazon S3, or other similar cloud storage). Sites built with RSB can be fully functional with REST API or GraphQL calls to micro-services such as Amazon Lambda, Azure Functions, or dynamic Docker endpoints hosted on DigitalOcean. RSB demonstrates how to use component-based UI development approach with best of breed technologies including React, Redux, Babel, Webpack, Browsersync, React Hot Loader and more. This work is being sponsored by:
✓ Modern JavaScript syntax (ES2015+) via Babel, modern CSS syntax via PostCSS
✓ Component-based UI architecture via React, Webpack and CSS Modules
✓ Application state management /w time-travel debugging via Redux (see main.js, store.js)
✓ Routing and navigation via path-to-regexp and history (main.js, router.js, tools/routes-loader.js)
✓ Code-splitting and async chunk loading via Webpack v2
✓ Hot Module Replacement (HMR) /w React Hot Loader, cross-device testing with Browsersync (see run.js)
✓ 24/7 community support on Gitter + perimum support on Skype (book a session)

Step 2. Clone this repository (alternatively, use Yeoman generator to bootstrap your project):
$ git clone -o react-static-boilerplate -b master --single-branch \
https://github.com/kriasoft/react-static-boilerplate.git MyApp
$ cd MyApp
$ yarn install # Install project dependencies listed in package.jsonStep 3. Compile and launch your app by running:
$ yarn start # Compiles the app and opens it in a browser with "live reload"You can also test your app in release (production) mode by running yarn start -- --release or
with HMR and React Hot Loader disabled by running yarn start -- --no-hmr. The app should become
available at http://localhost:3000/.
The unit tests are powered by chai and mocha.
$ yarn lint # Check JavaScript and CSS code for potential issues
$ yarn test # Run unit tests. Or, `yarn run test:watch`Update publish script in the tools/publish.js file with your full Firebase
project name as found in your Firebase console. Note that
this may have an additional identifier suffix than the shorter name you've provided. Then run:
$ yarn run publish # Builds and deployes the app to FirebaseThe first time you publish, you will be prompted to authenticate with Google and generate an authentication token in order for the publish script to continue.
If you need to build the project without publishing it, simply run:
$ yarn build # Compiles the app into the /public/dist folderYou can always fetch and merge the recent changes from this repo back into your own project:
$ git checkout master
$ git fetch react-static-boilerplate
$ git merge react-static-boilerplate/master
