Introduction

A Mezzio 3 Skeleton Application with React.js integration.

Features

• SPA application with React Router DOM with cached pages after visited.
• Using server side template from Mezzio 3, eval'd with DOMPurify it first.
• Webpack support for production

Setup

1. Run composer create-project command:

composer create-project samsonasik/mezzio-react
composer development-enable

2. Run PHP Development server

cd mezzio-react
composer serve

3. Open web browser http://localhost:8080

Production

For deploy to production purpose, it has webpack.config.js in root directory that when we run webpack command, we can get public/js/dist/bundle.js after run it. If you don't have a webpack installed yet in your system, you can install nodejs and install webpack and webpack-cli:

sudo npm install -g webpack
sudo npm install -g webpack-cli

So, we can run:

webpack

    | ./public/js/create-page.js 1.36 KiB [built]
    | ./public/js/Navigation.js 3.33 KiB [built]

After it generated, we can run the following commands to get production environment by default:

# ensure no left over file development config
rm config/development.config.php && rm config/autoload/development.local.php

# install with --no-dev
composer install --no-dev

# ensure no left over file cache before re-build cache
composer clear-config-cache

In default.phtml, we have a isDevelopment() view helper check to use js/app.js when on development, and use /js/dist/bundle.js on production when exists.

// src/App/templates/layout/default.phtml
$isDevelopment = $this->isDevelopment();

// ...
    ->prependFile(
        $isDevelopment
            ? '/js/app.js'
            : (
                // when after run webpack, allow to use bundled js
                // fallback to use /js/app.js when not
                file_exists('./public/js/dist/bundle.js')
                    ? '/js/dist/bundle.js'
                    : '/js/app.js'
            ),
        'module'
    )
// ...

that will automatically take care of that.
