React Starter Kit for Firebase is a popular project template (aka, boilerplate) for building modern, scalable web applications with React, Relay, and GraphQL using serverless infrastructure provided by <a href="https://cloud.google.com/">Google Cloud</a> (Cloud SQL, Cloud Functions, CDN hosting, and file storage). It allows you to save time and build upon a solid foundation and design patterns.

Prerequisites

Getting Started

Just clone the repo, update environment variables in .env and/or .env.local file, and start hacking:

$ git clone https://github.com/kriasoft/react-firebase-starter.git MyApp
$ cd MyApp
$ yarn setup                       # Installs dependencies; creates PostgreSQL database
$ yarn start                       # Compile the app and opens it in a browser with "live reload"

Then open http://localhost:3000/ to see your app.<br>

<p align='center'><img src='https://camo.githubusercontent.com/506a5a0a33aebed2bf0d24d3999af7f582b31808/687474703a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f616d794e66434e2e706e67' width='600' alt='npm start'></p>

In order to re-compile GraphQL fragments, run yarn relay or yarn relay --watch (in watch mode).

How to Migrate Database Schema

While the app is in development, you can use a simplified migration workflow by creating a backup of your existing database, making changes to the existing migration file (see migrations/20180101000000_initial.js), re-apply the migration and restore data from the backup file (backup.sql):

$ yarn db-backup --env=dev         # Or, yarn db-backup --env=test
$ yarn db-reset-dev                # Or, yarn db-reset-test

Upon deployment to production, switch to normal migration workflow:

$ yarn db-change <name>            # Create a new database migration file
$ yarn db-migrate --env=dev        # Migrate database to the latest version

HINT: Test your migration thoroughly with a local instance of the DB first (by using --env=local or --env=dev (default) flag) then apply it to your test or prod database instance using --env=test or --env=prod command argument.

Other helpful database scripts:

$ yarn db-version --env=dev        # Print the version number of the last migration
$ yarn db-rollback --env=dev       # Rollback the latest migration
$ yarn db-restore --env=dev        # Restore database from backup.sql
$ yarn db-seed --env=dev           # Seed database with test data
$ yarn db --env=dev                # Open Knex.js REPL shell (type ".exit" for exit)
$ yarn psql --env=dev              # Open PostgreSQL shell (type "\q" for exit)

How to Test

$ yarn lint                        # Check JavaScript and CSS code for potential issues
$ yarn lint-fix                    # Attempt to automatically fix ESLint warnings
$ yarn test                        # Run unit tests. Or, `yarn test -- --watch`

How to Deploy

$ yarn build                       # Build the in production mode (NODE_ENV=production)
$ yarn deploy-test                 # Deploy the app to TEST environment
$ yarn deploy-prod                 # Deploy the app to PROD environment

For more information refer to the Deployment guide in the project's Wiki.

How to Update

If you keep the original Git history after cloning this repo, you can always fetch and merge the recent updates back into your project by running:

$ git remote add rsk https://github.com/kriasoft/react-firebase-starter.git
$ git checkout master
$ git fetch rsk
$ git merge rsk/master
$ yarn install

NOTE: Try to merge as soon as the new changes land on the master branch in the upstream repository, otherwise your project may differ too much from the base/upstream repo. Alternatively, you can use a folder diff tool like Beyond Compare for keeping your project up to date with the base repository.
