react-router-fetch-data-demo

Batteries included demo of full react stack rendering on server and client, based on OpenWeather API.

Features

• Async data fetching via react-router
• Using up to date react 0.13.1
• Server side rendering inside EJS-powered express app
• Cached external API via redis, again mounted inside express
• Static assets mounted inside express and created via gulp
• React view-controller style components fetching data behind promises
• Webpack build process with cached incremental builds via persistent gulp task
• bootstrap data sent to client after server has finished rendering avoiding API hits on the client for first run (so called rehydration)

Take it for a spin

• requires a redis instance available on default port
• npm install then gulp, app becomes available on http://localhost:8080

todo

• Implement fluxy unidirectional data stores
• Implement fluxy actions
• Both above instead of direct access to ampersand data
• Cleanup data flow generally
• UI
• Config
• Demonstrate use of continuation-local-storage for user tokens inside async process
