Phoenix as a Meteor alternative

Planet Earth

I finally got around to making a React/Phoenix starter template today! It’s got a whole bunch of goodies:

  1. React
  2. React Router & Redux Router
  3. Redux
  4. Webpack
  5. CSS Modules, CSSNext, PostCSS
  6. Phoenix API
  7. JWT API Authentication
  8. Redux/Channels Example

I still need to do some work on the README to explain how things work and I’m planning on doing a video to explain how it works and some of the design/architectural decisions behind it.

One thing that I’ve noticed about React + Phoenix is that it requires a TON of boilerplate. This is why I created the starter template. In addition, this makes it extremely difficult to do a getting started video that isn’t 3 hours long. Do you think a video on how to use it and how it works would be helpful?
