Project base

The project was created using create-react-app.

👋 Getting started

Create an empty folder for you project and move to it

  mkdir my-app
  cd my-app

Generate your boilerplate

  npx degit ChristianTracy/cra-redux-boilerplate

🤖 To do this in a SINGLE COMMAND use (just copy and paste into your workspace folder):

mkdir my-app && cd my-app && npx degit ChristianTracy/cra-redux-boilerplate

💻 Start dev server

Don't forget to install your dependencies first

  npm install

  npm run start

if you need change something see create-react-app docs.

🏥 Testing

Create your files to test with [filename].test.js inside your modules folders.

The base config for test used by create-react-app was removed. This project use jest to test files.

npm test

This command will prompt the test results and the coverage percentage.

🌈 ESLint + Prettier

This project contains the basic configuration to use the base airbnb rules. You'll find this inside the .eslintrc.json file. Feel free to change to use custom rules.

If you use VSCode, install the eslint and prettier extensions to format your code on save and get the lint errors inside the editor.

👉 Redux project conventions

Reducers

- Reducers locations

The reducers files should be located inside the modules/[module_name]/ folders.

- Reducers names

The file name should be created with the name of the module (or not) + Reducer. E.g: HomeReducer.js inside modules/home/HomeReducer.js

- Reducers tip

Always use combineReducers to manage little parts of the store (https://redux.js.org/api/combinereducers);

Actions

- Actions locations

The reducers files should be located inside the modules/[module_name]/ folders.

- Actions names

The file name should be created with the name of the module (or not) + Actions. E.g: HomeActions.js inside modules/home/HomeActions.js

- Actions tips

Create your actions using FSA standard : https://github.com/redux-utilities/flux-standard-action Remember that you're using redux-thunk in this projects.

Selectors

- Selectors locations

The reducers files should be located inside the modules/[module_name]/ folders.

- Selectors names

The file name should be created with the name of the module (or not) + Selectors. E.g: HomeSelectors.js inside modules/home/HomeSelectors.js

- Selectors tips

Selector concept : https://redux.js.org/introduction/learningresources#selectors If you can, use reselect (already installed in this project).

🔨 Utils

🌎 i18n

Define your texts inside the locales/[language].js files. The library used to manage this is react-i18next.

Use

  import { useTranslation } from 'react-i18next';

  ...

  const MyComponent = () => {
    const { t, i18n } = useTranslation();
    <span>{t('home.text')}</span>
  }

  ...

You can check the complete implementation in modules/home/Home.jsx

🛣️ Router

See the full documentation of used router in react-router and connected-react-router.

You've a redirect example in HomeActions.js and Home.jsx files.

export const redirectExample = () => dispatch => {
    dispatch(push('/another'))
}

All your views should be placed in commons/ViewsContainer.jsx file

  <Switch>
    <Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
    <Route path="/another" component={Another} />
    <Route render={() => <div>DEFAULT</div>} />
  </Switch>

❓ FAQ's

• Where should I put my bussines logic?
  • The selectors are a good place to do that.
• Should I make test for every single reducer an action?
  • The tests are awesome. It's a good practice to test all your reducers and actions to avoid problems :)
• I need to add a new view...
  • In that case create a component inside a new module like /modules/about/About.jsx
  • The next step will be add your new view in the modules/commons/ViewsContaines.jsx.
