Preact Redux Example

A 10kb Redux-powered alternative to preact-boilerplate, implementing a To-Do List app.

As of v2, now wonderfully simplified via preact-redux (no more preact-compat!).

Quick-Start Guide

• Installation
• Development Workflow
• Structure

Installation

1. Clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/developit/preact-redux-example.git my-app
cd my-app

2. Make it your own:

rm -rf .git && git init && npm init

:information_source: This re-initializes the repo and sets up your NPM project.

3. Install the dependencies:

npm install

You’re done installing! Now let’s get started developing.

Development Workflow

4. Start a live-reload development server:

PORT=8080 npm run dev

This is a full web server nicely suited to your project. Any time you make changes within the src directory, it will rebuild and even refresh your browser.

5. Generate a production build in ./build:

npm run build

You can now deploy the contents of the build directory to production!

Example: deploy to surge.sh:

npm i surge && surge build -d my-app.surge.sh

Structure

Apps are built up from simple units of functionality called Components. A Component is responsible for rendering a small part of an application, given some input data called props, generally passed in as attributes in JSX. A component can be as simple as:

class Link extends Component {
  render({ to, children }) {
    return <a href={ to }>{ children }</a>;
  }
}
// usage:
<Link to="/">Home</Link>
