Web application framework for React by Red Badger

Arch

Web application framework for React.

About

Arch is a single page web application framework using React as its UI layer. Arch takes a functional style approach with central immutable state architecture inspired by Om.

Arch applications are written in LiveScript by default (read more about the reasoning behind the decision), they are fully isomorphic out of the box and Arch comes with it's own Node.js based server, Webpack bundler and a CLI to help you get started.

Get Started

Start by installing the Arch CLI

$ npm install -g arch-cli

Then create a directory for your new application and go inside

$ mkdir my-app && cd my-app

You can then generate a new app by running

arch-cli init

and following the steps. When done start the application by running

arch-cli serve

your application is now running on http://localhost:3000.
