React-GraphQL-Subscriptions-Starter

A full-stack reproduction of the popular realtime chat application, Slack (http://slack.com) using React and GraphQL Subscriptions. This stack was built with a focus on scalability, efficiency, performance, and simplicity. It is intended to be a working starting point for any future projects using GraphQL Subscriptions in React.

Stack

• React (w/ Server-side Rendering)
• GraphQL Subscriptions (live data updates)
• Redux
• Apollo
• Express
• Webpack
• Babel (using ES7)
• React-Hot-Reloader
• PostCSS
• Eslint

I am more than happy to accept external contributions to the project in the form of feedback, bug reports, and of course - pull requests :)

Ease of understanding and simplicity are important to the longevity of this boilerplate, so if you find a simpler way of doing something, feel free to share!
