react-es6-redux

This project started as a POC for React and has now become my own sandbox for testing the latest technologies. You'll find documentation across the code, the commits and the READMEs helping you implement the following I'm using:

• React
• React Router
• Babel v6 to transpile ES6+
• Webpack for bundling
• Redux for state management
• Redux Dev Tools please watch Dan Abramov about Time Travel at React-Europe
• React Router Redux Redux/React Router bindings
• Eslint (with eslint-config-airbnb)
• style-loader, sass-loader
• babel-preset-react-hmre (react-hot-reload for babel v6 - thanks to react-transform-hmr)
• Karma Test runner / PhantomJS Scripted, headless browser
• Mocha / Chai / Sinon Test framework / Assertion Library / Test spies
• Enzyme Testing utilities for React from Airbnb
• babel-plugin-__coverage__ used with karma-coverage, spits out coverage reports directly on es6 source code
• karma-coveralls (coverage reports in CI mode)
• Protractor (e2e tests run with Selenium WebDriver - on SauceLabs in CI mode)
• nock / superagent-mocker to record & mock http requests

The development / build / deploy workflow is based on topheman/webpack-babel-starter, which allows to have online both:

• production version (minified js/css ...)
• development version (with sourcemaps, so that users could see the original es6 source code, even online, just by opening the sources panel in the devtools console)

Support for Travis CI (see .travis.yml file):

• builds are tested
• source code is linted
• unit tests are run
• code coverage is sent to coveralls.io
• e2e tests are run through SauceLabs (a cross-browser automation tool built on top of Selenium WebDriver)

Previous versions (checkout the releases sections):

• The version without redux remains on the v1.x branch.
• The version in babel v5 remains on the v2.x branch
• You can see the isomorphic (universal if you will) version (with server-side rendering) at topheman/react-es6-isomorphic (based on v1 - not yet with redux at this time).

ONLINE DEMO

###Setup

This project now follows the same development workflow as the one explained in topheman/webpack-babel-starter (with some additions, specific to the project).

####Install

git clone https://github.com/topheman/react-es6-redux.git
cd react-es6-redux
npm install

Note: Installing the topheman-apis-proxy backend is no longer mandatory (I changed the code so that you could do unauthenticated request to the github API - you will be rate limited to 10 requests per minute though).

####Run

#####Dev mode

• npm start
• Open http://localhost:8080/

You're good to go with hot-reload / redux-devtools / time-travel / sourcemaps ...!

#####Mock mode

You can also run the app in mock mode (useful for tests):

• npm run webpack-mock
• Open http://localhost:8080/

####Build

At the root of the project :

• npm run build: for debug (like in dev - with sourceMaps and all)
• npm run build-prod: for production (minified/optimized ...)
• npm run build-prod-all: both at once in the same build (with redux devtools & sourcemaps on dev version)

A /build/dist folder will be created with your project built in it.

You can run it with npm run serve-build

####Test

#####Unit tests

npm test will launch:

• linting of /src & /test folders via eslint
• the unit-tests files are located in /src inside __tests__ folders, named like *.spec.js
• those tests files are run by karma

This task is launched on pre-commit hook & on Travis CI.

If you wish to generate coverage reports, just npm run karma-coverage (those reports are generated on Travis CI anyway and available on coveralls.io), you will find them in local at /build/reports/coverage.

Note: Unit-tests are run through karma in PhantomJS (the webpack.config.js being injected), they can also be run directly via mocha (see wiki).

#####End to end tests

e2e tests are located in /test/e2e/spec.

Open two terminal tabs, on each one:

• npm run webpack-mock: will launch the project in mock mode
• npm run test-e2e: will run the e2e tests in /test/e2e via protractor against your local server

Those tests are run on Travis CI, via SauceLabs.

####Linter

I'm using eslint, based on eslint-config-airbnb, a preset for .eslintrc configuration. For more infos, checkout the release it was implemented: v2.5.0.

• npm run lint: single run linting of /src & /test folders
• npm run lint-watch: same in watch mode

####Specific commands

You may want some granularity, the DEVTOOLS, NODE_ENV & LINTER variables are at your disposal:

• DEVTOOLS=true npm run build: will build a debug version with the devtools
• DEVTOOLS=false npm run webpack: will launch a webpack dev server without the devtools (if you find it annoying)
• LINTER=false npm start (if you don't want to be bothered by the linter - at your own risks! the pre-commit hook will run the linter and the tests anyway)
• ... you can mix and match ;-)

Read the "Advanced tasks" wiki section for more infos ...

####With topheman-apis-proxy

This part is optional

topheman-apis-proxy is a proxy that lets you do authenticated requests to github / twitter APIs (that way you have a much higher rate limit). For the install, please follow the installation steps README section.

Then your workflow will be:

• Open a terminal in the react-es6-redux folder and npm run webpack-dev
• Open a terminal in the topheman-apis-proxy folder and grunt serve (see more in the run in local README section)
• Go to http://localhost:8080/

###Deploy

I'm using github pages for hosting (free https, easy deploy via git - a good deal since I don't need any server-side logic). You'll find a gh-pages orphan branch where the deployed builds are stored.

My deployment routine is described on the topheman/webpack-babel-starter Wiki.
