React Stylus Webpack Boilerplate
A starter kit for creating applications using react and stylus, client side rendering, development and production configurations and hot reloading
Overview
The React-Stylus-Webpack boilerplate is an opinionated starter kit for creating applications using React and Stylus. It includes client-side rendering, development and production configurations, and hot reloading. The technology stack includes React, React Router, ES6 with Babel, Stylus preprocessor, Jade templates, CSS Modules, Gulp for build automation, ESLint for coding style enforcement, and Webpack for bundling.
Features
- Plain React implementation with the option to add Flux implementation later.
- Integration with React Router for handling routes.
- Client-side rendering for improved performance.
- Uses ES6 with Babel for writing modern JavaScript.
- Stylus preprocessor for writing CSS with a simplified syntax.
- Ability to use Jade templates instead of JSX for component rendering.
- Scoped styles using CSS Modules for preventing style conflicts.
- Build automation using Gulp for simplifying development tasks.
- Coding style enforcement using ESLint for maintaining code quality.
- Development and production bundling using Webpack.
- Development server with hot reloading for seamless development experience.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Gulp
Gulp.js is an old but popular site building tool that automates various repetitive development tasks in web development, such as compiling Sass, minifying JavaScript, and optimizing images.
- Webpack
Webpack is a popular open-source module bundler for JavaScript applications that bundles and optimizes the code and its dependencies for production-ready deployment. It can also be used to transform other types of assets such as CSS, images, and fonts.
