Running your project

By default, reactivate assumes your project to meet the following conditions:

• The applications entrypoint is src/index.js
• The main html template is src/index.html
• You use ReactJS or plain JavaScript

If your project does not meet those defaults, you will need a config file.

Development server

To run the development server, execute the following command inside your projects root directory.

$ reactivate serve

Development build

To run a development build, execute the following command inside your projects root directory.

$ reactivate build

Production build

To build for production, include the --production or -p flag.

$ reactivate build -p

Configuration

In order to configure reactivate, create a reactivate.config.js inside the root directory of your project. The file exports a JSON config, like in the example below.

// reactivate.config.js

module.exports = {
  entry: 'src/index.js'
};

The following parameters can be set inside the config.

You can provide another config file, by using the -c option.

$ reactivate serve -c myconfig.js

Planned features

• Support for style and static asset loading
• Customize babel plugins
• Zero config universal rendering
• Angular support
