Slides

Goals

• No pain with iterable stop/run node.js server;
• Fast recompiling and starting node.js webserver processes;
• Livereload over separated ports (html / (css/client js/images));
• Source code compiling and running from RAM over MemoryFS;
• Has instruments for debugging server side code;
• Has CPU and RAM usage metrics;
• Can works globally and locally as part of your project;

Installation

$ npm i rship -g          # via npm
$ yarn global add rship   # via yarn, !can be problems!

Initialize application

When RSHIP has been istalled, CLI is ready for creating application from DEFAULT BOILERPLATE

$ rship new application_name # rship n applciation_name

Default boilerplate

Contains

• React as view engine;
• Redux as state container;
• Webpack as compiler of client and server codebase;
• Stylus as style pre-processor;
• CSSModules;
• axios as HTTP client;
• Koa 2.0 as http web server;
• Jest as testing framework.

Goals

• Server Side Rendering;
• SEO compability;
