# Generator create-redux-app

[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/generator-create-redux-app.png?downloads=true)](https://nodei.co/npm/generator-create-redux-app/)

> This generator add **redux**, **emotion-js** and other useful libraries and tools like **react-router**, in top of the most common React starter [Create React App](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app).
Below you will find some information on how to perform common tasks.

## Installation

First, install [Yeoman](http://yeoman.io) and generator-create-redux-app using [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) ( **You’ll need to have Node >= 6.10.3 on your machine** [node.js](https://nodejs.org/)).

```bash
npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-create-redux-app
```

Then generate your new project:

```bash
mkdir project-name
cd project-name
yo create-redux-app
```

Once the installation is done, you can run some commands inside the project folder:

### `npm start` or `yarn start`

Runs the app in development mode.

Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.

You will see the build errors and lint warnings in the console.

### `npm test` or `yarn test`

Runs the test watcher in an interactive mode.

By default, runs tests related to files changes since the last commit.

[Read more about testing.](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/template/README.md#running-tests)

### `npm run build` or `yarn build`

Builds the app for production to the `build` folder.

It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.

Your app is ready to be deployed!

## User Guide

- [Folder Structure](#folder-structure)
- [Redux Dev Tools](#redux-dev-tools)
- [Git Hooks](#git-hooks)
- [Prettier](#prettier)
- [ESLint](#eslint)
- [Routing](#routing)
- [Emotion Js](#emotion-js)
- [Adding Sass Preprocessor](#adding-sass-preprocessor)
- [Redux Store](#redux-store)
- [Create React App config](#create-react-app-config)

## Folder Structure

create-redux-app override create-redux-app folder structure.
Once the generator runs your project folders should look like this:

```
my-app/
docs/
public/
index.html
favicon.ico
src/
actions/
assets/
components/
constants/
containers/
reducers/
routes/
store/
tests/
styles/
utils/
index.js
```

For the project to build, **these files must exist with exact filenames**:

* `public/index.html` is the page template;
* `src/index.js` is the JavaScript entry point.

You can delete or rename the other files.

You may create subdirectories inside `src`. For faster rebuilds, only files inside `src` are processed by Webpack.

You need to **put any JS and CSS files inside `src`**, or Webpack won’t see them.

Only files inside `public` can be used from `public/index.html`.

Read instructions below for using assets from JavaScript and HTML.

You can, however, create more top-level directories.

They will not be included in the production build so you can use them for things like documentation.

## Redux Dev Tools

Create Redux App use [Redux DevTools Extension](http://extension.remotedev.io/). It provides access to the most popular monitors, is easy to configure and to filter actions.

### Installation

#### 1. For Chrome
- from [Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/redux-devtools/lmhkpmbekcpmknklioeibfkpmmfibljd);
- or build it with `npm i && npm run build:extension` and [load the extension's folder](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted#unpacked) `./build/extension`;
- or run it in dev mode with `npm i && npm start` and [load the extension's folder](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted#unpacked) `./dev`.

#### 2. For Firefox
- from [Mozilla Add-ons](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remotedev/);
- or build it with `npm i && npm run build:firefox` and [load the extension's folder](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Temporary_Installation_in_Firefox) `./build/firefox` (just select a file from inside the dir).

#### 3. For Electron
- just specify `REDUX_DEVTOOLS` in [`electron-devtools-installer`](https://github.com/GPMDP/electron-devtools-installer).

#### 4. For other browsers and non-browser environment
- use [`remote-redux-devtools`](https://github.com/zalmoxisus/remote-redux-devtools).

## Git Hooks

We use [Husky](https://github.com/typicode/husky) to create Git Hooks. There is a pre commit hook than run prettier to ensure good code format. You can also create a prepush hook.

```
// Edit package.json

"husky": {
"hooks": {
"pre-commit": "pretty-quick --staged"
}
},
```

### Uninstall

```bash
npm uninstall husky --save-dev
```
And delete the `husky` key in`package.json`

## Prettier

You can add/remove rules if you want, just edit the `.prettierrc` file. Prettier runs in a precommit hooks to ensure good code formating with [pretty-quick](https://prettier.io/docs/en/precommit.html#option-2-pretty-quick-https-githubcom-azz-pretty-quick).
```
// Edit package.json

"scripts": {
"format": "prettier --write '**/*.{js,jsx,json,md}'",
"format:changed": "pretty-quick",
"format:staged": "pretty-quick --staged",
"eslint-check": "eslint --print-config .eslintrc.js | eslint-config-prettier-check"
},
"husky": {
"hooks": {
"pre-commit": "pretty-quick --staged"
}
},
```

### Uninstall

```bash
npm uninstall eslint-config-prettier pretty-quick prettier --save-dev
```
Delete
```
"scripts": {
"format": "prettier --write '**/*.{js,jsx,json,md}'",
"format:changed": "pretty-quick",
"format:staged": "pretty-quick --staged",
"eslint-check": "eslint --print-config .eslintrc.js | eslint-config-prettier-check",
},
"husky": {
"hooks": {
"pre-commit": "pretty-quick --staged"
}
},
```

## ESLint

You can add/remove rules or even extend plugins if you want. We extend **airbnb** ESLint rules.
```
// Edit eslintrc.json

{
"extends": ["airbnb", "prettier", "prettier/react"],
"plugins": ["prettier"],
"parser": "babel-eslint",
"parserOptions": {
"ecmaVersion": 2016,
"sourceType": "module"
},
"env": {
"es6": true,
"jest": true,
"browser": true,
"node": true
},
"globals": {
"DEBUG": false
},
"rules": {
"react/jsx-filename-extension": [1, { "extensions": [".js", ".jsx"] }],
"import/no-extraneous-dependencies": 0,
"import/no-unresolved": 0,
"import/extensions": 0,
"import/prefer-default-export": 0,
"import/first": 0
}
}
```

## Routing

The best option for routing is [React Router](https://reacttraining.com/react-router/) specifically its new version for the web [react-router-dom](https://reacttraining.com/react-router/web/guides/quick-start).

`src/routes/index.js` is the starter point of the app, where all the routes are specified and render the containers and components. Specify here all your routes, redirects, transitions, etc.

## Emotion Js

[emotion-js](https://emotion.sh/) allow you to write actual CSS code in your JavaScript to style your components,
removing the mapping between components and styles.

See the
[official documentation](https://emotion.sh/docs/introduction)
for more information!

## Adding Sass Preprocessor

Can I use Sass with this boilerplate? yes, although we advise against it and **do not support this**. We selected
[`styled-components`](https://github.com/styled-components/styled-components)
over Sass because its approach is more powerful: instead of trying to
give a styling language programmatic abilities, it pulls logic and configuration
out into JS where we believe those features belong.

If you _really_ still want (or need) to use Sass [then...](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/template/README.md#adding-a-css-preprocessor-sass-less-etc)

## Redux Store

The Redux store is created this way so you can use it anywhere, even outside redux, in any js file.

```js
const { default: store } = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
? require('./storeProd')
: require('./storeDev')

module.exports = store()
```

### Usage

```js
import store from './store'

store.getState() // Get the state
store.dispatch() // Dispatch actions
```
