### Yeoman generator for ReactJS webapp development. With RequireJS, Bootstrap, Sass and templating with Jade. JSX compiled with Babel
# Getting Started
### Install Yeoman
npm install -g yo
### Yeoman Generators
To install generator-base-backbone from npm, run:
npm install -g generator-base-reactjs
//or:
sudo npm install -g generator-base-reactjs
Finally, initiate the generator:
yo base-reactjs
If you have error on install try to update dependences manually:
```bash
sudo npm update
```
```bash
bower update
```
## Requeriments
### [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/)
For update npm
sudo npm install npm -g
### [Bower](http://bower.io/)
npm install -g bower
### [Sass](http://sass-lang.com/)
sudo gem install sass
**Documentation:**
* [https://nodejs.org/](https://nodejs.org/)
* [http://bower.io/](http://bower.io/)
* [http://sass-lang.com/](http://sass-lang.com/)
# Usage
Develop code on folder **/src**
/src
/data
/images
/scripts
/components
/styles
/templates
### Compile code
Use grunt task to compile code and deploy webapp
grunt serve
THis will launch server on port 9000
http://localhost:9000/
Distribute code is compileded on forder **/dist**
/dist
/css
/data
/images
/js
/lib
/templates
## Styling
Sass files (\*.sass, \*.scss) must be located on **/src/styles** folder root.
* Grunt task **sass.js** will process the files into CSS files to folder **/src/styles/css**.
* Grunt task **copy.js** will copy all CSS files into **/src/styles/css** to folder **/dist/css** for ditribution.
* You can also create and edit CSS files in **/src/styles/css**.
## Templating with Jade and Reactjs-Template
* The NodeJS template engine JADE is implemented. Jade files (\*.jade) must be located on **/templates** folder root.
Example:
// src/templates/footer.jade
footer
.row
p @2015
Compiled:
// src/templates/rt/footer.rt
* Grunt task **reactTemplates** will process the files into templates files.
Example:
// src/templates/rt/footer.rt.js
var footerRT = function () {
return React.createElement('footer', {}, React.createElement('div', { 'className': 'row' }, React.createElement('p', {}, '@2015')));
};
* Grunt task **copy.js** will copy all CSS files into **/templates/html** to folder **/dist/templates** for ditribution.
* Grunt task **replace.js** will modify the script to implement RequireJS function.
Example:
// dist/templates/footer.rt.js
define(['react'], function(React) {
return footerRT = function () {
return React.createElement('footer', {}, React.createElement('div', { 'className': 'row' }, React.createElement('p', {}, '@2015')));
};
});
* You can now insert templates into your components
Example:
// src/scripts/components/footer.js
define(['react', '../../../../templates/footer.rt'], function(React, template) {
'use strict';
return React.createClass({
displayName: 'footer',
render: template
});
});
* You can also create components without templates
Example:
// src/scripts/components/footer.js
define(['react'], function(React) {
'use strict';
return React.createClass({
displayName: 'footer',
render: function() {
return (
)
}
});
});

# Routing
Routing is made with Page.js micro client-side router. Router is loaded in Main.js file:
// src/scripts/main.js
'use strict';
require.config({
paths: {
text: '../lib/text',
react: '../lib/react',
jsx: '../lib/jsx',
react_dom: '../lib/react-dom',
page: '../lib/page/page',
underscore: '../lib/lodash.min',
jquery: '../lib/jquery.min',
bootstrap: '../lib/bootstrap.min',
router: './router'
}
});
window.app = {};
require(['react', 'jquery', 'underscore'], function(React, $, _) {
require(['react_dom', , 'bootstrap'], function(ReactDOM, Bootstrap) {
require(['router']);
});
});
Place routing path in file router.js
// src/scripts/router.js
define(['page', 'react', 'react_dom'], function(Page, React, ReactDOM) {
'use strict';
Page.base('');
Page('/', index);
Page();
function index(ctx) {
if (ctx.hash !== '') {
Page(ctx.hash);
} else {
landing();
}
}
function landing() {
loadComponent('../js/components/landing');
}
function loadComponent(path) {
require([path], function(Component) {
ReactDOM.render(, document.getElementById('app'));
});
}
});
`Page(ctx.hash);` in index function is needed for resolve inssue with page reload with hash...
A *.htcaccess* file is needed for remove the /#/ hash from urls:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /#/$1 [L,NC]

# Dependencies
Grunt task **copy.js** will read all bower.js files from **/bower_components** subfolders, and copy the file path from **main** node, like:
//bower_components/requirejs/bower.json
{
...
"main": "require.js",
...
}
And put this files into folder **/dist/lib/**.
If any installed dependency has no bower.json file (like lodash) you must edit the **copy.js** task to manually copy it:
grunt.config.set('copy', {
...
lodash_: {
cwd: 'bower_components/lodash/dist',
src: 'lodash.js',
dest: 'dist/lib/',
expand: true
},
...
});
If an unnecesaary file is copied (like boostrap.less):
//bower_components/bootstrap/bower.json
{
...
"main": [
"less/bootstrap.less",
"dist/js/bootstrap.js"
],
...
}
you can delete it with the **clean-dist.js** task:
//grunt/clean-dist.js
grunt.registerTask('clean-dist', 'Clean dist folder', function() {
...
grunt.config.set('clean.files.src', ['dist/lib/bootstrap.less']);
...
});
