🤖 Introduction

purr react is a simple boilerplate to build web application using React and Webpack. It comes with some good modern technologies like webpack-dev-server, eslint, babel... .

There are a lot of react boilerplates everywhere but I've never been able to find one that isn't too overkill. Create React App is good for creating apps without build configuration but it completly hides the build config. You can eject the build config but you'll loose interest in using Create React App.

purr-react was designed to make the process of creating simple react apps easier without the need of redux or anything too overkill for a small project. You can extend the config as much as you want.

🚎 Features

1. Easy as pie - run one of the easiest React boilerplate without much knowledge
2. Instant feedback - hot reload your browser each time you save a file
3. Automated production build - yarn build or npm run build to build your app.
4. Next gen JS - want to write ES8? Do it! Webpack will make it es5 ready for you.
5. Shiny styles - use ES6 and CSS to style your app with styled-components 💅 It will also improve performances by rendering only the styles that are on the pages.
6. React routing - react-router-dom will be your best friend to create your awesome /about page, thanks to routing.
7. Improved cache - your external project dependencies will be cached and service workers ready.
8. Continuous Integration - AppVeyor and TravisCI are ready to catch problems and will test everything on Unix and Windows.

This app also uses some good technologies:

• Babel
• ESlint (with the badass airbnb config)
• Jest
• stylelint
• npm scripts
• Webpack

☕️ Quick start

1. Clone this repo using git clone https://github.com/Manoz/purr-react.git and move to the directory: cd purr-react
2. Run yarn setup or npm run setup to start the setup process and install dependencies
3. Run yarn start or npm run start to see the demo app at http://localhost:3000
4. Run yarn remove-demo or npm run remove-demo to delete the demo app

If you don't want to use the setup script you can run yarn install or npm install after cloning the repo and keep everything in place.

Here is some additional commands you can also use:

• yarn build or npm run build: to build the production app inside the *./build* folder.
• yarn test or npm run test to test the built app

More information about the npm scripts can be found here.
