This project will no longer be updated, in favor of focusing my efforts on the Scalable React Boilerplate and Generator Scalable React. Feel free to keep using it!

The hardest part about React is getting setup. This project aims to help anyone quickly get bootstrapped with the latest versions of React, Redux, Webpack, etc. It uses Hot Module Reloading and has a few optional add-ons like React Foundation, Redux Form, etc.

It follows best practices, including the AirBnb JS & JSX style guides and uses the FTF (file-type first) organizational pattern.

If you're looking for something with a bit more features, take a look at the Scalable React Boilerplate project!

To try the example application out or to use the project, follow the instructions below.

1. Clone repo

   git clone https://github.com/RyanCCollins/react-redux-simple-starter.git

2. Install dependencies

   npm run setup

3. Run development server

   npm run start

   Development server should be running at http://localhost:8080/

4. Make build

   npm run build

• Some files left out for brevity. Please reference the files in the React Redux Simple Starter project for information about the file structure.
