Create React apps with server side rendering and no build configuration. Inspired by the famous create-react-app, Create React SSR App does the same thing for React apps that require server side rendering.

Create React SSR App works on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
If something doesn’t work, please file an issue.
npx create-react-ssr-app my-app
cd my-app
yarn start
Then open http://localhost:3000/ to see your app.
When you’re ready to deploy to production, create a minified bundle with yarn build
.
You don’t need to install or configure tools like Node, Webpack or Babel.
They are preconfigured and hidden so that you can focus on the code.
Just create a project, and you’re good to go.
You’ll need to have Node 8.10.0 or later on your local development machine (but it’s not required on the server). You can use nvm (macOS/Linux) or nvm-windows to easily switch Node versions between different projects.
To create a new app, you may choose one of the following methods:
npx create-react-ssr-app my-app
npm init react-ssr-app my-app
npm init <initializer>
is available in npm 6+
yarn create react-ssr-app my-app
yarn create
is available in Yarn 0.25+
It will create a directory called my-app
inside the current folder.
Inside that directory, it will generate the initial project structure and install the transitive dependencies:
my-app
├── README.md
├── node_modules
├── package.json
├── .gitignore
├── public
│ ├── app.html
│ ├── favicon.ico
│ └── manifest.json
└── src
├── client
| ├── index.css
│ └── index.js
├── server
| ├── middleware
| | ├── html.js
| | └── render.js
│ └── index.js
├── App.css
├── App.js
├── App.test.js
├── index.js
└── logo.svg
No configuration or complicated folder structures, just the files you need to build your app.
Once the installation is done, you can open your project folder:
cd my-app
Inside the newly created project, you can run some built-in commands:
Runs the app in the development mode. Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits. You will also see any lint errors in the console.
Runs the test watcher in an interactive mode.
By default, runs tests related to files changed since the last commit.
Builds the app for production to the build
folder. It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes. Your app is ready to be deployed!
