A very simple starter for React Relay using Browserify

Overview

The simple-relay-starter is a project that provides a simple example of how to get started with Relay, a JavaScript framework for building data-driven React applications. It introduces slightly different approaches compared to the relay-starter-kit, making it easier for first-time users, especially those using Node.js. Unlike relay-starter-kit, this project uses Browserify instead of Webpack, does not use a proxy for the GraphQL endpoint, and does not require ES6 features for server-side code.

Features

  • Simple Example: Provides a straightforward example of how to get started with Relay.
  • Browserify Usage: Uses Browserify instead of Webpack for module bundling, simplifying the setup process.
  • No Proxy Required: Does not use a proxy for the GraphQL endpoint, making it easier to understand the code and eliminate additional configurations.

Summary

The simple-relay-starter project provides a simplified example of how to get started with Relay, easing the setup process for first-time users. It uses Browserify instead of Webpack and does not require a proxy for the GraphQL endpoint, resulting in a cleaner and easier-to-understand codebase. By following the installation guide, users can quickly set up the theme and start building data-driven React applications with Relay.
