• React
• Redux
• RethinkDB
• AWS Lambda

First, clone the repo with

git clone https://github.com/SuperFeed/SuperFeed

Next, install dependencies

npm install

Make sure RethinkDB is installed. If you're using OS X, you can install it with brew install rethinkdb. For a specific platform checkout https://www.rethinkdb.com/docs/install/.

Create the database and tables with

npm run create-db

If needed, the database can be dropped with

npm run drop-db

npm run dev

This loads a development version of the app. The node server performing SSR is started at localhost:3001, while the webpack build starts at port 3000. The node server is proxied with webpack-dev-server. The API is started with run-api.js and mirrors the AWS lambda functions. The API server listens at port 3005.

You also need to run RethinkDB in another shell, or somewhere. Run this with rethinkdb -d _db

The API is contained the /functions directory. Each function has a folder with an index.html file that defines the endpoint, method, and handler. The run-api.js script runs the API for local development. The server is reloaded on changes with nodemon. The API can be started standalone with npm run dev-api.

The server serves the initial page render for the React app. The src/server.jsx file runs this, and matches the path for React Router. The server is reloaded on changes with nodemon. Items from the resources/static directory are also served. To run the server standalone, use npm run dev-server.

The front end is served with Webpack, and has reloading enabled. The entry point is src/client.jsx. To run the standalone front end, use npm run dev-client.

You can build the app for production with

npm  run build
