But, this is isn't a \"complete universal React\" app, because:\n\n* No server-side rendering\n* No react-router\n* No redux\n* No webpacking minifier for client-side JavaScript includes\n\nI didn't include those things because I think they introduce a lot more complexity for people who are just trying to get started. This is more geared towards building something fast, not building a monolithic React SPA.\n\n### Install and run\n\nIn development:\n\n```\nnpm install\nnpm start\n```\n\nIn production:\n\n```\nnpm install --production\nnpm run build\nnpm run serve\n```\n\n## Authors\n\n* [Richard Gong](http://richgong.com)\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the MIT License - see [LICENSE.md](LICENSE.md) file for details\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frichgong%2Freact-express-hotloader","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frichgong%2Freact-express-hotloader","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frichgong%2Freact-express-hotloader/lists"}
