A minimalistic boilerplate for gotron and reactjs. Tested on Windows, macOS and Linux.

This project contains only bare minimum of tooling and dependencies to provide you with simple to understand and extensible base (but still, this is fully functional).

Make sure you have Node.js installed, then type the following commands known to every Node developer...

git clone https://github.com/Marlon-Monroy/gotron-react-boilerplate.git
cd gotron-react-boilerplate/ui
npm install
npm start

if you are using yarn

git clone https://github.com/Marlon-Monroy/gotron-react-boilerplate.git
cd gotron-react-boilerplate/ui
yarn
yarn start

This will download all the dependencies needed for react to work.

The application consists of...

ui - Where all the ui and react related files live).

The build process compiles the content of the src folder and puts it into the dist folder, so after the build has finished, your dist folder contains the full, runnable application.

I've used mod for go depencency manager but i figured you might want to use something different so ive added the go.mod and go.sum files to .gitignore feel free to make changes as needed.

npm run dev

if you are using yarn

yarn run dev

Build process uses Webpack. The entry-points is src/index.js. Webpack will follow all import statements starting from those files and compile code of the whole dependency tree into one .js file for each entry point.

Babel is also utilised.

Side note: Im using react 16.7.alpha2 so that i can use hook.

To do so edit ui/package.json:

"dependencies": {
  "react": "16.7"
}

Remember to respect the split between dependencies and devDependencies in package.json file. Your distributable app will contain modules listed in dependencies after running the release script.

To package your app:

cd gotron-react-boilerplate/ui
npm run build

Once the packaging process finished, the dist directory will contain your distributable file.
