Still far from it but I think a good start. I always had an issue with just jumping in and building something with Reason as it felt like there is loads of config involved.
I simplified @chenglou's example repo a bit, big thanks to his amazing work! It lowers the barrier at least for me, hope it's helpful for others too.
One of the main goals of Reason is to make the tooling simple enough to not need such a tool. This is a work in progress towards it.
For now this is more like a quick start to React Reason than a "create-reason-react-app", but the latter is the end goal of this project. I am still very knew to the language and this is where I want to learn and explore.
- Clone the repo
yarn
ornpm install
yarn dev
ornpm run dev
- Open browser and navigate to: http://localhost:8080/
The project uses bucklescript build system and webpack under the hood. When you run yarn dev
, bsb
will run in watch mode and in parallel webpack's dev server is started at http://localhost:8080/. Files build by bsb
can be found in the /lib
directory. The amazing thing about bsb
is that it produces readable javascript files.
After these JS files are produced, webpack-dev-server
uses them.
I will be adding more guides and examples to this repo. But for now, please check out @chenglou's repo with a few examples https://github.com/chenglou/reason-react-example. There's also a lot of information on syntax and Reason itself on the official website: https://facebook.github.io/reason.
I'd like this to be a great "Get started..." place for Reason. Please submit feature requests, issues and pull requests. Feel free to contribute!
