python-react and eve

This is a super simple, monolithic app that uses server-side rendering to deliver precompiled React to the frontend that avoids further page requests by querying eve's REST API for data.

Installation

Install dependencies

apt-get install mongodb
pip install -r requirements.txt
npm install
webpack

Start the render server in a separate terminal

node render_server.js

Start the Python server in yet another terminal

python run.py

Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000

For a more production-y feel, you can also use gunicorn

gunicorn run:app --threads 2

Make sure you change run.py so it doesn't run in debug mode anymore and threaded=False.
