## <a id="features">Features</a>

#### Build Process

- [Typescript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) support
- Bundled with [webpack 5](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/)
- Implements async chunk loading via [@loadable/react](https://loadable-components.com/)
- Supports ES6 via [Babel](https://babeljs.io/) transpiling

#### State Management

- [redux-entity](https://github.com/mikechabot/redux-entity) for domain entity management
- [redux-thunk](https://github.com/gaearon/redux-thunk) for [asynchronous actions](https://github.com/mikechabot/react-boilerplate/blob/master/src/reducers/entities/actions.ts)
- [redux-logger](https://github.com/theaqua/redux-logger) for capturing actions

#### Routing

- [react-router v5](https://github.com/reactjs/react-router) for client-side [routing](https://github.com/mikechabot/react-boilerplate/blob/master/src/Root.tsx#L12)
- [Async chunk loading](https://github.com/mikechabot/react-boilerplate/blob/master/src/components/Sections/ReactRouter/AsyncTabbedRouter.js#L15) at the `react-router` level

#### HTTP

- [Customizable](https://github.com/mikechabot/react-boilerplate/blob/master/src/services/data/ajax-service.js#L8), [Promise-based](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise) HTTP support via [Axios](https://github.com/mzabriskie/axios)
- Utilizes a [a generic data service](https://github.com/mikechabot/react-boilerplate/blob/master/src/services/data/data-access-service.ts#L30) to easily fetch data
- Example of [implementing the data service](https://github.com/mikechabot/react-boilerplate/blob/master/src/services/domain/domain-service.ts#L7)

#### Styling

- Supports [SCSS & SASS](http://sass-lang.com/) syntax
- Browser compatibility via [autoprefixing](https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer)
- [Bulma](https://bulma.io/documentation/overview/start/) for out-of-the-box styling

#### Develop & Deploy

- Environmental configurations for both webpack and redux
  - **Dev**: [webpack-dev-server](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/) with [react-refresh-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/pmmmwh/react-refresh-webpack-plugin). `redux-logger` enabled
  - **Prod**: [Express](http://expressjs.com/) server with `redux-logger` disabled

---

## <a id="getting-started">Getting Started</a>

1. `$ git clone https://github.com/mikechabot/react-boilerplate.git`
2. `$ npm install`
3. Launch environment:
   - **Production**: `$ npm start`
   - **Development**: `$ npm run dev`
   - Available at http://localhost:3060
     > Update port via [config.default.json](https://github.com/mikechabot/react-boilerplate/blob/master/config/config.default.json#L3), or override via [Custom Configuration](#custom-config)
4. Build assets for production:
   - `$ npm run build:prod`

---

## <a id="custom-config">Custom Configuration</a>

Use [`cross-env`](https://github.com/kentcdodds/cross-env) or a comparable library/command to set the `ENV_CONFIG_PATH` to the path of your JSON configuration file:

`$ cross-env ENV_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/config.json npm start`

> **Note**: This path is made available to Webpack **only**, however the contents of the file are stamped on a global variable during the build process (`process.env.APP_CONFIG`, see [webpack.config.js](https://github.com/mikechabot/react-boilerplate/blob/master/webpack.config.js#L46)), which is then accessible via the [ConfigService](https://github.com/mikechabot/react-boilerplate/blob/master/src/services/common/config-service.js#L19).

If your configuration is loaded successfully, you can expect to see the following indicator during startup:

```
** Using custom configuration located at "/path/to/config.json" **
```

#### Example

Using configuration file @ `C:\_workspaces\custom-config.json`

```bash
$ cross-env ENV_CONFIG_PATH="C:\_workspaces\custom-config.json" npm start

> react-boilerplate@5.0.0 start C:\_workspaces\react-boilerplate
> npm run build:prod && npm run start-prod-server

> react-boilerplate@5.0.0 build:prod C:\_workspaces\react-boilerplate
> npm run clean && cross-env NODE_ENV=production webpack --progress --colors

> react-boilerplate@5.0.0 clean C:\_workspaces\react-boilerplate
> rm -rf ./docs

** Using custom configuration located at "C:\_workspaces\custom-config.json" **
