React Static Boilerplate 
React Static Boilerplate (RSB) is an opinionated boilerplate and tooling for creating modern stand-alone web applications (aka SPAs) for a serverless architecture. RSB significantly reduces cost by eliminating the need for servers such as EC2 instances because the entire site can be hosted directly from CDN (Firebase, GitHub Pages, Amazon S3, or other similar cloud storage). Sites built with RSB can be fully functional with REST API or GraphQL calls to micro-services such as Amazon Lambda, Azure Functions, or dynamic Docker endpoints hosted on DigitalOcean. RSB demonstrates how to use component-based UI development approach with best of breed technologies including React, Redux, Babel, Webpack, Browsersync, React Hot Loader and more.
The work is being sponsored by:
Features
✓ Modern JavaScript syntax (ES2015+) via Babel, modern CSS syntax via PostCSS
✓ Component-based UI architecture via React, Webpack and CSS Modules
✓ Application state management /w time-travel debugging via Redux (see main.js, core/store.js)
✓ Routing and navigation via path-to-regexp and history (see main.js, core/router.js, utils/routes-loader.js)
✓ Code-splitting and async chunk loading via Webpack and ES6 System.import()
✓ Hot Module Replacement (HMR) /w React Hot Loader
✓ Cross-device testing with Browsersync (see run.js#start)
✓ 24/7 community support on Gitter; customization requests on Codementor

Step 1. Make sure that you have Node.js v6 or newer installed on your machine.
Step 2. Clone this repository or use Yeoman generator to bootstrap your project:
$ git clone -o react-static-boilerplate -b master --single-branch \
https://github.com/kriasoft/react-static-boilerplate.git MyApp
$ cd MyApp
$ npm install # Install project dependencies listed in package.json——— or ———
$ npm install -g yo
$ npm install -g generator-react-static
$ mkdir MyApp
$ cd MyApp
$ yo react-staticStep 3. Compile and launch your app by running:
$ node run # Same as `npm start` or `node run start`You can also test your app in release (production) mode by running node run start --release or
with HMR and React Hot Loader disabled by running node run start --no-hmr. The app should become
available at http://localhost:3000/.
How to Test
The unit tests are powered by chai and mocha.
$ npm run lint # Check JavaScript and CSS code for potential issues
$ npm run test # Run unit tests. Or, `npm run test:watch`How to Deploy
Update publish script in the run.js file with your full Firebase project name as found
in your Firebase console. Note that this may have an
additional identifier suffix than the shorter name you've provided. Then run:
$ node run publish # Build and publish the website to Firebase, same as `npm run publish`The first time you publish, you will be prompted to authenticate with Google and generate an authentication token in order for the publish script to continue.
If you need just to build the project without publishing it, run:
$ node run build # Or, `node run build --release` for production buildHow to Update
You can always fetch and merge the recent changes from this repo back into your own project:
$ git checkout master
$ git fetch react-static-boilerplate
$ git merge react-static-boilerplate/master
$ npm installLearn React.js and ES6
