haxe-react-hot-boilerplate

The minimal dev environment to enable live-editing React components with Haxe. Based on Dan Abramov's (http://github.com/gaearon) react-hot-boilerplate.

Usage

Webpack

npm install
npm start
open http://localhost:3000

Haxe

Building

# build all
haxe build.hxml

# build watcher for views
npm run haxify

Now edit src/haxe/main/*. Your changes will appear without reloading the browser.

Webpack API

var foo = Webpack.require(./foo);

Webpack.ensure(['./styles/foo.css', './foo'], function() {
	// styles and foo loaded
});

Webpack.hotReload();
Webpack.hotReload('./foo');
Webpack.hotReload('./foo', function() {
	// foo reloaded
});

Modularity

Haxe modularity is achieved using the technique described in https://github.com/elsassph/modular-haxe-example. Inspect the .hxml files for configuration.

Using 0.0.0.0 as Host

You may want to change the host in server.js and webpack.config.js from localhost to 0.0.0.0 to allow access from same WiFi network. This is not enabled by default because it is reported to cause problems on Windows. This may also be useful if you're using a VM.

Missing Features

This boilerplate is purposefully simple to show the minimal configuration for React Hot Loader. For a real project, you'll want to add a separate config for production with hot reloading disabled and minification enabled. You'll also want to add a router, styles and maybe combine dev server with an existing server. This is out of scope of this boilerplate.
