[DEPRECATED] React project template with server-side UI rendering and routing

Overview

The react-quickstart project template is a minimal React project that combines several key features including react-router-component for HTML5 history routing and navigation, react-async for creating asynchronous React components, express for serving pre-rendered React components and assets, and browserify for providing a module system for the browser. The application pre-renders each page on the server, allowing users to see the UI before the client code is shipped to the browser. Once loaded, the application functions as a single page application, enabling seamless navigation between pages without page reloads.

Features

  • React-Router-Component: Provides HTML5 history routing and navigation.
  • React-Async: Allows for the creation of "asynchronous" React components.
  • Express: Serves pre-rendered React components and assets and provides a stub for a REST API.
  • Browserify: Provides a module system for the browser.
  • npm: Installs and manages server-side and client-side dependencies.

Summary

The react-quickstart project template provides a minimal and efficient setup for developing React applications. By combining key features like react-router-component, react-async, express, and browserify, developers can quickly set up a project with HTML5 history routing, asynchronous components, pre-rendering, and optimized bundling. With an easy-to-use installation process and a customizable project structure, react-quickstart is a great starting point for any React project.
