Typescript React Redux Isomorphic Hot Example.

About

This is a starter boilerplate app I've put together using the following technologies:

• React
• React Router
• Express
• Typescript
• Webpack for bundling
• Webpack Dev Middleware
• Webpack Hot Middleware
• Redux's futuristic Flux implementation
• Support ReduxDevTools (developer experience)
• TSLint to maintain a consistent code style
• style-loader, sass-loader and autoprefixer to allow import of stylesheets in plain css, scss,
• react-helmet to manage title and meta tag information on both server and client

Feature:

• Support docker
• Server side render + fetch data
• React hot reload
• Server render supports react hot reload
• Server does not reload after change client code

How to use

$ npm run docker:run

# Connect to docker container
$ npm run docker:exec

# NOTE. After work you should stop container
$ npm run docker:stop

# Developer mode
$ npm run start

$ npm run build
$ npm run server

# TSLint
$ npm run tslint

# Unit test
# TODO

Explanation

Client side

The client side entry point is reasonably named client/index.ts. All it does is load the routes, initiate react-router, rehydrate the redux state from the window.__PRELOADED_STATE__ passed in from the server, and render the page over top of the server-rendered DOM. This makes React enable all its event listeners without having to re-render the DOM.

Server-side Data Fetching
