What Hacker News says
3 sourcesDepends on the backend platform actually. Apache CGI processes (PHP) are fire-and-forget per request. But for example Ruby and Node.js servers persist through request cycles. It's important that any state is unique to the request, sometimes even the caches should be per request.
Node.js has a package called piping that hot-reloads require()ed files. It makes interactive development possible. Checkout my backend and frontend interactive isomorphic starterkit: https://github.com/RickWong/react-isomorphic-starterkit It hot-reloads Node server code and client code your browser.
In Myself – v1.0.3Last week I pushed my own isomorphic React starterkit to GitHub, where it was trending:
- https://github.com/RickWong/react-isomorphic-starterkit
The starterkit's focused on the build tools and overall ease-of-use. You can get started in less than 5 minutes. The included example showcases how the server & client work together elegantly to produce the page. The goal of the starterkit is to enhance productivity so there's one single cli command to watch and rebuild both the server with auto-reloads, and client with hot (instant) code updates. Everything happens automatically on-save.
Check it out, it just works. I'm looking for feedback.
