This is:
- A template for your new ReasonReact project.
- A collection of thin examples illustrating ReasonReact usage.
- Extra helper documentation for ReasonReact (full ReasonReact docs here).
src contains 4 sub-folders, each an independent, self-contained ReasonReact example. Feel free to delete any of them and shape this into your project! This template's more malleable than you might be used to =).
The point of this template and examples is to let you understand and personally tweak the entirely of it. We don't give you an opaque, elaborate mega build setup just to put some boxes on the screen. It strikes to stay transparent, learnable, and simple. You're encouraged to read every file; it's a great feeling, having the full picture of what you're using and being able to touch any part.
yarn installyarn dev Open a new web page to http://localhost:8000/. Change any .re file in src to see the page auto-reload. You don't need any bundler when you're developing!
How come we don't need any bundler during development? We highly encourage you to open up index.html to check for yourself!

To serve the files, this template uses a minimal dependency called moduleserve. A URL such as localhost:8000/scores/john resolves to the file scores/john.html. If you'd like to override this and handle URL resolution yourself, change the server command in package.json from moduleserve ./ --port 8000 to moduleserve ./ --port 8000 --spa (for "single page application"). This will make moduleserve serve the default index.html for any URL. Since index.html loads Index.bs.js, you can grab hold of the URL in the corresponding Index.re and do whatever you want.
By the way, ReasonReact comes with a small router you might be interested in.
