Flux Chat Example

This was copied from Facebook Flux Chat example.

The reason for copying over is to easily keep it up to date with new React release and for readers to compare different Flux implementations. You can read over the original repo here.

Changes from Original Flux Chat Example

• Update React.js to 0.14rc1
• Mock server latency when "fetching" messages (use setTimeout)
• Use ES6 syntax
• Consolidate actions into single file (actions.js)
• Webpack instead of Browserify
• Babel instead of Reactify
• Remove testing for stores (for now)

Running

You must have npm installed on your computer. From the root project directory run these commands from the command line:

npm install

This will install all dependencies.

To build the project, first run this command:

npm start

This will perform an initial build and start a watcher process that will update bundle.js with any changes you wish to make. This watcher is based on Webpack, and it transforms React's JSX syntax into standard JavaScript with Babel.

After starting the watcher, you can open index.html in your browser to open the app.
