Install slush-react-express
globally:
npm install -g slush-react-express
Remember to install slush
globally as well, if you haven't already:
npm install -g slush
Create a new folder for your project:
mkdir my-react-express-app
Run the generator from within the new folder:
cd my-react-express-app
slush react-express
You will now be prompted to give your new React/Express app a name, which will be dasherized and used in its package.json
file. The chosen name will be used within the server's route and react component as well.
The generator supplies two templates: A minimal template and a full template which includes advanced parts such as gulp builds, tests and more.
The minimal template is the quickest way to get started with your React/Express app, and only includes the minimum files that are required to get you started. React (.jsx) files are compiled on the fly in the browser, which means that you don't have to compile them yourself.

├── package.json
├── server.js # Main node entry point
└── public
└── javascripts
└── main.jsx # Main react component and entry point
└── stylesheets
└── index.css # Main app stylesheet
└── index.html # Main browser entry point
You can start your app by running:
npm start
Then head to http://localhost:3000
in your browser.
The full template is a great starting point if you want to kickstart a big project with an advanced build system.

You can choose to use SASS
or just plain CSS
for the styling in your project.
You can choose between TypeScript
and Javascript
. React components will be written in .tsx files if you choose to use TypeScript.
You can start your app by running:
gulp build
npm start
Then head to http://localhost:3000
in your browser.
A full build can be triggered by running:
gulp build
You can automate the builds by starting the watch task. Builds will be kicked off when any .jsx/.tsx or .ts file changes:
gulp watch
If you want to minify your files and strip debug messages, you can make a production build:
gulp build --production
To run tests run:
gulp test
By default, the test task will run a full build. You can skip the build by running the command with the --skip-build
flag.
