generator-iced-react-webpack  

> Yeoman generator for ReactJS - lets you quickly set up a project including the Iced CoffeeScript language, karma test runner, and Webpack module system.

Fork Information

This is a form of generator-react-webpack. All credit for the majority of the code in this repository goes to Simon Bailey (newtriks)

Usage

Install generator-iced-react-webpack:
``
npm install -g generator-iced-react-webpack
`

Make a new directory, and cd into it:
`
mkdir my-new-project && cd $_
`

Run yo iced-react-webpack, optionally passing an app name:
`
yo iced-react-webpack [app-name]
`

Run grunt for building and grunt serve for preview in the browser at localhost.

Generators

Available generators:

* iced-react-webpack (aka iced-react-webpack:app)
* iced-react-webpack:component

Note: Generators are to be run from the root directory of your app.

Sets up a new ReactJS app, generating all the boilerplate you need to get started. The app generator also facilitates the following:

1. Configures a Gruntfile to run the app on a local server.
2. Configures Webpack to modularise the app enabling loading of various file formats e.g. JSON, CSS, PNG, etc.
3. Configures Karma to run all tests.
4. Watches for changes and recompiles JS and refreshes the browser.

Example:
`bash
yo iced-react-webpack
`

$3

Generates a JSX component in src/scripts/components and it's corresponding test in src/spec/components.

Example:
`bash
yo iced-react-webpack:component foo
`

Produces src/scripts/components/Foo.iced (iced coffeescript - JSX):
`
/* @jsx React.DOM /

'use strict'

var React = require 'react/addons'
require '../../styles/Foo.css'

Foo = React.createClass({
render: ->


module.exports = Foo
`

And test/spec/components/Foo.coffee (coffeescript - jasmine):
`

'use strict'

describe '<%= classedName %>', ->
beforeEach ->
Foo = require '../../../src/scripts/components/<%= classedFileName %>.iced'
component = do Foo

it 'should create a new instance of <%= classedName %>', ->
expect(component).toBeDefined()

`

And src/styles/Foo.css:
`

.Foo{
border: 1px dashed #f00;
}
`

Testing

Running grunt test will run the unit tests with karma. Tests are written using Jasmine by default.

Further Information

$3

The react-webpack generator automates the setup of a ReactJS project using the specific structure detailed below:

`
project
- src
- scripts
-components
ComponentOne.iced
ComponentTwo.iced
main.iced
- styles
main.css
reset.css
index.html
- test
- spec
- components
ComponentOne.coffee
ComponentTwo.coffee
- helpers
- react
addons.js
phantomjs-shims.js
Gruntfile.coffee
karma.conf.coffee
`

I have tried to keep the project structure as simple as possible and understand it may not suit everyone.

$3

I have opted to follow @floydophone convention of uppercase for component file naming e.g. Component.js. I am open to suggestions if there is a general objection to this decision.

$3

Each component is a module and can be required using the Webpack module system. Webpack uses Loaders which means you can also require CSS and a host of other file types. Read the Webpack documentation to find out more.

$3

Out the box the Gruntfile is configured with the following:

1. webpack: uses the grunt-webpack plugin to load all required modules and output to a single JS file src/scripts/main.js. This is included in the src/index.html file by default and will reload in the browser as and when it is recompiled.
2. webpack-dev-server: uses the webpack-dev-server to watch for file changes and also serve the webpack app in development.
3. connect: uses the grunt-connect plugin to start a webserver at localhost.
4. karma: uses the grunt-karma plugin to load the Karma configuration file karma.conf.js located in the project root. This will run all tests using PhantomJS by default but supports many other browsers.

$3

Included in the project is Eric Meyer's reset.css script. There is also a src/styles/main.css script that's required by the core src/scripts/components/App.js` component using Webpack.

$3

Please use JSXHint for linting JSX and the corresponding Sublime package if using SLT3 SublimeLinter-jsxhint. Note this is a global npm install and JSX files will need to be associated with the JSX file type withing SLT3.

Props

Thanks to all who contributed to generator-angular as the majority of code here has been shamelessy sourced from that repos.

Thanks to Edd Hannay for his Webpack optimisations, my local merge and testing meant his additions lost his signature (my fault sorry) so big thanks Edd.

Contributions are welcomed. When submitting a bugfix, write a test that exposes the bug and fails before applying your fix. Submit the test alongside the fix.
