But you still get it.

Simple base app with react, react-router v4, hot-reload & sass.

npm i -g simple-react-app to install the package.

simple-react-app folderName to start the boilerplate into folderName folder.

Or if you're using [email protected] or above, you can simply run npx simple-react-app folderName, without the need to install the package globally.

• This is a simple POST app I created using redux and react. The features in this app include 'Fetchin Post' from a fake rest JSON API and 'adding a new post'. It was bootstrapped using 'Simple-react-app'

The boilerplate structure and files are the same as this repo minus the bin folder, everything else is exactly the same.

The testing environment is written in Jest and Enzyme. The included tests are very basic and only check the proper render of base components + routes, there are no snapshot tests, I did not feel they were needed being the components really basic, at the first change they would need to be updated, imho setting the wrong approach of "hey tests are broken, let's regenerate snapshots again". While still basic, the default tests are easy to manage and expand, providing a smoother curve into testing with JavaScript and React.

This project uses AirBnB Javascript specs so you can write error-free react and javasctipt code, if you use Visual Studio Code, you can install eslint from the extension tab to activate this function, other editors just google name of the editor + eslint you will find how to enable it for your editor.
