Happily maintained dev stack and starter kit for React universal apps. One stack for browser, server, mobile.
Forget about evil frameworks, use laser focused libraries and design patterns instead.
Nejbližší školení Este se koná 18. února až 19. února v Praze - registrujte se zde learn-reactjs.com.
- Truly universal architecture
- code shared across platforms (browser, server, native mobile)
- server side rendering
- universal data fetching via one higher order component
- prerender for static hosting
- Functional architecture (immutability, hot reload, time traveling)
- Test driven development ready
- Advanced performance with pure components
- Well tuned dev stack
- Universal forms with validation
- React and React Native
- Redux
- babeljs
- immutablejs
- react-router
- webpack
- expressjs
- eslint
- formatjs Universal internationalization.
- React Helmet A document head manager for React.
- webpack-isomorphic-tools
- chriso/validator.js For simple yet powerfull Este sync/async validation.
- bluebird Because it's better than native implementation.
- mochajs The fun, simple, flexible JavaScript test framework.
- LESS, SASS, Stylus, or plain CSS with autoprefixer
- shortid Short id generator. Url-friendly. Non-predictable.
- gulp For cross platform scripting.
- And much more. Check source code.
If you are using different node versions on your machine, use nvm to manage them.
git clone https://github.com/este/este.git este-app
cd este-app
npm install
- run
gulp
- point your browser to localhost:8000
- build something beautiful
React Native: facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html
gulp
run web app in development modegulp -p
run web app in production modegulp mocha
run mocha unit testsgulp mocha-watch
continuous test running for TDDgulp eslint
eslint
gulp build -p
build app for production, for example for Herokunpm test
run all checks and testsnode src/server
start app, remember to set NODE_ENV and SERVER_URLgulp to-html
render app to HTML for static hosting like Firebase
For absolute beginners: react-howto.
So you decided to give a chance to this web stack, but where is documentation? Code is documentation itself as it illustrates various patterns, but for start you should read something about React.js and Redux. Refresh you JavaScript knowledge about "new" JavaScript - learn ES6. This stack uses immutable.js and class-less design for a good reason. Express.js is used on the Node.js based server. Application is universal, so we can share code between browser, server, mobile, whatever easily. Congrats, you're Este.js expert level 1 now :-)
Use this if you are using JEST or another library, which has to be compiled.
- Install Python - Install version 2.7 of Python and add it to your path or/and create a PYTHONPATH environment variable.
- Install Visual Studio (Express Edition is fine) - We will need this for some of modules that are compiled when we are installing Este. Download VS Express, get one of the versions that has C++ - Express 2013 for Windows Desktop for example.
- Set Visual Studio Version Flags - We need to tell node-gyp (something that is used for compiling addons) what version of Visual Studio we want to compile with. You can do this either through an environment variable GYP_MSVS_VERSION. If you are using Express, you have to say GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2013e.

- To check current app state, just open browser console.
- Install Redux devtools Chrome extension zalmoxisus/redux-devtools-extension
- With functional programming (SOLID: the next step is Functional), we don't need DI containers. We can use plain old Pure DI. Check
injectDependencies
middleware inconfigureStore
. - Learn immutable.js, for example Seq. Handy even for native arrays and objects. For example, get object values:
Seq(RoomType).toSet().toJS()
- Recommended editors are sublimetext (tips) and atom.io.
This indicates that you do not have permission to write to the directories that npm uses to store packages and commands. One possible solution is to change the permission to npm's default directory.
- Find the path to npm's directory:
npm config get prefix
For many systems, this will be/usr/local
- Change the owner of npm's directory's to the effective name of the current user
sudo chown -R `whoami` <directory>
In dev mode, webpack loads all the style inline, which makes them hot reloadable. This behaviour disappears in production mode (gulp -p
).
Yes it does. Este is agnostic of what you use in your backend and is completely decoupled from the API. It uses an Express app for server-side rendering, but you can use anything for your API. The only benefit that an Express API has is that it can simply be use()
by the main app, like any other middleware.
Yes. Este makes little assumptions about your stack, and passing every bit of needed info through props. This is not a framework, nothing prevents you from picking the bits you're interested in.
Just as regular React Native project created via react-native init AwesomeProject
. We can easily share modules across platforms. But remember to check gulpfile.babel.js for details.
