## Why Reactify Boilerplate

Reinventing the wheel sucks. Reactify Boilerplate lets you get started with a solid foundation for new projects.

### Frontend: React

Reactify Boilerplate uses [React](https://reactjs.org) (via [Create React App](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app)) as a frontend framework.

Includes:

- [Bootstrap 4](https://getbootstrap.com) (via [reactstrap](https://reactstrap.github.io/))
- [Bootswatch Themes](https://bootswatch.com)
- [React Router](https://reacttraining.com/react-router)
- [Redux](https://redux.js.org/)
- [React-Toastify](https://github.com/fkhadra/react-toastify)
- [FontAwesome](https://fontawesome.com)
- [Animate.css](https://daneden.github.io/animate.css)
- [Particles.js](https://github.com/VincentGarreau/particles.js)
- [Internationalization (via react-i18next)](https://react.i18next.com)
- Local & Google OAuth login/signup

### Backend: Restify

Reactify Boilerplate uses [Restify](http://restify.com) as a backend server.

Includes:

- [Mongoose](https://mongoosejs.com)
- [Internationalization (via i18n)](https://github.com/mashpie/i18n-node)
- User login/signup is already implemented for you

## Installing

For best results, you should have [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install) installed.

You'll probably want to [use this repository as a template](https://github.com/mathiscode/reactify-boilerplate/generate), then replace the clone URL and directory name below.

```sh
git clone https://github.com/mathiscode/reactify-boilerplate.git
cd reactify-boilerplate
yarn
```

## Configuring

```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

Edit `.env` or set environment variables for server configuration

Edit `client/src/config/site.js` for client configuration

Edit `client/src/config/keys.js` for client-side API keys (*eg. Google OAuth*)

## Customizing

Edit/add client components in `client/src/components`

Edit/add server routes in `server.js` (*look for the comment* `// Setup routes`)

`routes/users/index.js` has examples of how to include routes

See more guides in the [Wiki](https://github.com/mathiscode/reactify-boilerplate/wiki)

### Running the development environment

```bash
yarn dev # This will launch both the Restify server and the React development server.
```

## Testing

```bash
# Complete:
yarn test

# Individually:
yarn lint
yarn test-server
yarn test-client
```

## Building

Once you've made some changes to the client, run:

```bash
yarn build
```

This will bundle the React app and place it into the server's /public directory.

## Logging

Logs will output to the console if NODE_ENV is not `production`

### Log to file

In `.env` or your environment variables, set:

```INI
LOG_FILE=filename.log
ERROR_LOG_FILE=errors.log
```

### Log to [Logz.io](https://logz.io)

In `.env` or your environment variables, set:

```INI
USE_LOGZIO=true
LOGZIO_API_TOKEN=yourlogziotoken
```

### Log to [Loggly](https://loggly.com)

In `.env` or your environment variables, set:

```INI
USE_LOGGLY=true
LOGGLY_SUBDOMAIN=yourlogglysubdomain
LOGGLY_TOKEN=yourlogglytoken
LOGGLY_TAGS=mytag-1,mytag-2
```

*Note: you may get [a warning](https://github.com/loggly/winston-loggly-bulk/issues/45) about the loggly module; this can be safely ignored.*
