React Prime SSR

⚠️This repository has been moved to the Prime Monorepo.

Quick start

Use create-react-prime for easy install.

npx create-react-prime -b react-ssr my-app
cd my-app
npm start

Features

• TypeScript
• NextJS
• React
• React Query
• Styled-Components
• Workbox for offline support and caching
• ESLint to maintain a consistent code style
• Refer to package.json for more details

NPM Scripts

• Start develop server: $ npm start
• Create production build: $ npm run build
• Start server: $ npm run server
• Run ESLint: $ npm run lint
• Run webpack-bundle-analyzer: $ npm run analyzer

Deployment

Make sure all modules are installed: $ npm install

Create a build for production, this will add a /dist folder to the root with all bundles. $ npm run build

Run the server file to start server: $ npm run server

For production I recommend to use PM2 to run the server with advanced process management.

Development Workflow

Components

The components are separated in common, modules and pages.

• The common folder includes components are self-contained and can be used through the entire app
• The modules are bundled components which depend on each other.
• The pages folder contain top level pages of the application

Queries

To manage data throughout the while application this boilerplate makes use of React Query. A simple query is similar to the following code snippet:

export const useGetItems = () => {
  return useQuery<ServerResponse, Error, ReselectedData>(
    'items', // either a string, or an array
    async () => await api.get({ path: '/users' }),
    {
      select: (response) => {
        // format or select parts of the response
        return response;
      }
    },
  );
};

Static Assets

Any static assets, such as images, are now placed inside the public folder. Next will optimize these assets when you use the <Image /> component provided by Next and importing can be done simply by writing the relative URL (i.e. /images/your-img.png) in both CSS and JS. Because of the way SVG images are handled by React, these are still placed in the src/static/vectors folder and can be used as a React component.
