generator-react-require

Introduction

This is a Yeoman generator that can be used to create a simple todo application using React/JSX, requireJS, Socket.IO, Express, Jasmine, Sass, Bootstrap, JSHint and JSCS.

Prerequisites

1. Node/Npm - http://nodejs.org/download/
2. Grunt installed globally (npm install -g grunt-cli) - http://gruntjs.com/getting-started (Grunt is also installed as a dev dependency if you'd rather use that)
3. Compass (gem install compass) - http://compass-style.org/install/
4. Sass (gem install sass) - http://sass-lang.com/install

Install using Yeoman generator

Install generator-react-require:

npm install -g generator-react-require

Make a new directory, and cd into it:

mkdir my-react-proj && cd $_

Execute yo react-require:

yo react-require

How to use

Start the Node Express server using Grunt - This is used for persistent storage of your todo list entries.

grunt backend

Start the frontend server using Grunt - This is the Javascript application. Your terminal will tell you to point your browser at 0.0.0.0:9000 so see the application.

grunt frontend

You can then point as many tabs/browsers at 0.0.0.0:9000 as you like. Use the form to add items to your todo list, you will see your changes appear on the other tabs in real time. Thanks to Socket IO.
