Moderately complex POC of Server and Client side React, Redux, Webpack and Laravel working together

Sample ReactJS and Laravel PHP Framework

This project currently uses:

• PHP 7 <- included in bin folder
• phpv8/v8js <- binaries already in bin folder
• Laravel 5.2
• ReactJS
• Redux // follows ducks pattern... Somewhat at least.
• Webpack 2
• React Hot Loader 3

Disclaimer

• This is not finished
• This is currently only for windows
• Code is a bit very messy.

Required

• Windows 7 or greater
• Node 6 or greater
• Npm 3 or greater // usually included with nodejs
• VCRUNTIME140.dll, You'll need the x86 version

Getting Started

Run the following scripts in a console of your choice, I like cmder.

• npm run setup:dev // Assuming you meet the above Required, this will setup everything you need. Probably...
  • attempts to create a sqlite database in the database directory
  • creates an .env file for laravel
  • installs composer dependencies
  • creates an application key for laravel in the .env file
  • runs migrations to create a user and password_resets table
  • Finally runs npm install
• npm start // Launches a php server

In a separate console run

• npm run client:webpack:dev:server // watches client.entry.js

In yet another console, run:

• npm run server:webpack:dev:build:watch // watches server.entry.js

The react app is located in resources/react.

Commands

From the project root you can run:

Command	Example	Description
php	bin\php	Runs the included php executable from the bin folder
artisan	bin\php artisan	Runs laravel's artisan commands. See what's available here
composer	bin\composer	runs composer commands

I did not include node executables, so you'll need that on your dev environment.
