Template — React

For when create-react-app just doesn't give you what you want.

Basically, this template serves as an opinionated create-react-app for how I personally develop React applications. I chose to exclude a lot of the random junk (even if it is somewhat useful) from the default files it gives you so it's clearer what does what and what files are actually necessary for a bare minimum app. I also included some more modern React best practices like using containers, React Hooks, and functional components.

Contents

src
├── components # pure components that just render stuff
│   ├── App.js # main app that defines routing
│   ├── Footer.js # header and footer that appear on every page
│   ├── Header.js # ..
│   ├── Hello.js # simple hello page
│   └── Joke.js # page to display a bad dad joke
├── containers # components that handle data
│   └── DadJoke.js # calls dad joke api and renders Joke.js
├── index.css # root-level styling
└── index.js # main React render
