Universal Demo

This is a demo of how to use the Universal family of packages:

• react-universal-component
• webpack-flush-chunks
• extract-css-chunks-webpack-plugin
• babel-plugin-universal-import

Feel free to use it as a boilerpate.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/faceyspacey/universal-demo.git
cd universal-demo
yarn
yarn start

Things To Do

• Open localhost:3000 in your browser

• Click "CHANGE PAGE" to cycle through dynamically imported pages

• refresh on any page

• and then view the source in the browser to see what chunks are being sent on each page

• view the primary code in: src/components/App.js

• open the Network tab to see when imports are fetched

• edit the components to see that HMR works--even for split chunks.

• edit and save the CSS files to confirm HMR works for CSS as well, thanks to extract-css-chunks-webpack-plugin

• examine the build folders to see exactly what chunks and files are built for you

Long live the dreams of Universal HMR and Universal Code-Splitting!
