This project is a starter template and boilerplate for building isomorphic web applications using React, Redux, and Express. It functions as a server-side rendering framework that generates HTML on the server and rehydrates it on the client to improve search engine optimization and initial page load speeds.
The project is distinguished by its focus on developer experience, featuring a configuration for hot module replacement. This allows for the real-time updating of the user interface and application state during development without requiring a full browser refresh.
The framework provides comprehensive support for isomorphic state management, synchronizing global application data between the server and client during the initial boot. It also includes mechanisms for isomorphic asset management, specifically handling CSS modules and static assets consistently across both environments, and resolving asynchronous data requirements on the server before rendering.
The codebase includes automated continuous integration and browser-based unit testing to verify code quality and stability.
