Create React SSR

This project aims to have a starter kit for creating a new React app with Server Side Rendering and tools that generally go along with it.

It is not a project like create-react-app, create-react-app is used as a starter kit that handles all your scripts underneath, this is a project for developers who want more control over their application.

Tech(Library or Framework) | Version | --- | --- | React (Render Library) | 18.3.1 Redux (Global State Management) | 5.0.1 React Router DOM (Routing) | 6.23.0 Jest (Testing) | 29.7.0 Cypress (E2E Testing) | 13.8.1 Typescript | 5.4.5

Setup

To create a new project run in the terminal:

npx @aleleba/create-react-ssr app-name

Then run:

cd app-name

You will need to create a new .env file at the root of the project for global config. This is an exaple of config.

#Environment
ENV= #Default production
#App Port
PORT= #Default 80
#PUBLIC URL
PUBLIC_URL= #Default 'auto'
#Prefix URL
PREFIX_URL= #Default ''
#ONLY EXACT PATH
ONLY_EXACT_PATH= #Default false

The default environment is production, the app port defauld is 80 and the default public url is "auto", use prefix url if you want a prefix on base url, use exact path to validate if you want to have strict exact paths.

For Development

In the terminal run:

npm run start:dev

The ENV enviroment variable should be "development" and choose the port of your preference with the enviroment variable PORT.

You will find the root component on:

scr/frontend/components/App.tsx

You will find the Initial Component on:

scr/frontend/components/InitialComponent.tsx

The manage of the routes you should find on:

scr/routes

It is using "useRoutes" hook for working, more information for this here: (https://reactrouter.com/docs/en/v6/api#useroutes)

This will start the app in development mode, also it have Hot Reloading! Enjoy coding!

For Production

In the terminal run:

npm run build

It will create a build folder and run:

npm start

This will start the app.

Cheers

Hope you enjoy this proyect! Sincerely Alejandro Lembke Barrientos.
