firstlookmedia/react-scripts

Provides configuration for universal React/Relay apps.

By default we expect a graphql server to exist as a separate service. The default template will query for { viewer { id } } but this is not required of the schema.

Install

npm install -g create-react-app

create-react-app --scripts-version=git+ssh://[email protected]/firstlookmedia/react-scripts.git my-app
cd my-app
yarn update-schema
yarn start

Usage

react-scripts expects at least the following files:

src/index.js    # entry to the client-side app
server.js       # entry to the server
schema.graphql  # your graphql schema

The output will become:

build/server.js             # compiled server
build/manifest.json         # manifest pointing source files to compiled
build/assets/32f2q8fj3.js   # example compiled app
build/assets/2d0823jd.css   # any other compiled assets (css, images, fonts)

---

yarn start

Starts the development environment:

• The app server, which auto-reloads on http://localhost:3232
• A webpack dev server, which hot-reloads and proxies requests to the app server, on http://localhost:3233

yarn build

Builds the production assets to the build folder.

yarn test

Runs jest tests. react-scripts will look for any file named __spec.js.

You will need watchman to use yarn test without CI=true. To install on OSX brew bundle in this directory.

Persisted queries

To enable persisted queries:

1. Add PERSIST_QUERIES: "true" in the build and runtime environments
2. Point QUERIES_S3_BUCKET to an s3 bucket during build time to deploy queries, making them accessible to the graphql backend
3. Upgrade to the newest version of React scripts that has the GET and POST fetcher methods
4. Upgrade to relay >= 3.0

Note: persisted queries are always turned off during local development.
