React with Flux Starter Kit

This contains the completed environment setup that we walk through in detail in module 2 of "Building Applications with React and Flux" on Pluralsight.

NOTE: For the final demo built in the course, go here. And here's an updated demo that uses the latest versions as of early 2017.

This starter kit gives you the following:

React, React Router, and Flux for ultra-responsive UI development
Browserify bundling
jQuery with Bootstrap for styling
Gulp build that:
-- compiles JSX
-- lints JSX and JS via ESLint
-- bundles JS and CSS files
-- migrates the built app to the dist folder
-- runs a dev webserver
-- opens your browser at the dev URL
-- reloads the browser upon save

To get started:

Install NodeJS
Download this repo
Open the command line of your choice and cd to the root directory of this repo on your machine
npm install - Installs packages
npm install -g gulp - Installs gulp globally. Why globally?
gulp - Builds the project and opens your browser.
Navigate to http://localhost:9005/ if your browser doesn't open automatically.

You're now all set to follow along with the course!

Having Issues? Try this:

If you have an .eslintrc file in your user directory, delete it.
