| 14 | +## Description |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +Hi, I tried to make a simple demo. So if you are familiar with technologies [webpack](https://webpack.github.io/), [react](https://facebook.github.io/react/) and [express](http://expressjs.com/), then it will be easy for to understand that example. Anyways, I'll point on the main parts to save your time. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +### Backend |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +In this demo I use [express](http://expressjs.com/) to handle user requests and [react](https://facebook.github.io/react/) components to serve html for them: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +- **app/** |
| 23 | + - `view-engine.js` |
| 24 | + - `worker.js` |
| 25 | +- **components/** |
| 26 | + - `Page.js` |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +#### `worker.js` |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +Is an entry point for the server application. It contains main middlewares and helpers for the server rendering. Here I attach require hook: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +```javascript |
| 33 | +require('css-modules-require-hook/preset'); |
| 34 | +``` |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +It helps to process calls to the css files in runtime and build necessary class names: |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +```javascript |
| 39 | +import styles from './Page.css'; // Page.js |
| 40 | +``` |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +Also, I made a small [template engine](http://expressjs.com/en/advanced/developing-template-engines.html) for express to make render step isolated from the main program. It's connected here: |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +```javascript |
| 45 | +// setting rendering engine |
| 46 | +app.engine('js', viewEngine); |
| 47 | +app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, '../components')); |
| 48 | +app.set('view engine', 'js'); |
10 | 49 | ```
|
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +and implemented in the `view-engine.js` file. So, I can use neat calls to build html: |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +```javascript |
| 54 | +app.get('/', (req, res) => res.render('Page')); |
| 55 | +``` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +#### `view-engine.js` |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +Is a [template engine](http://expressjs.com/en/advanced/developing-template-engines.html) implementation. Requires necessary react components and builds html. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +#### `Page.js` |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Main react component, which describes the page and contains all the necessary dependencies. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +```javascript |
| 66 | +// get the necessary class names |
| 67 | +import styles from './Page.css'; |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +// pass particular generated class name to the component |
| 70 | +<section className={ styles.wrapper }> |
| 71 | + // ... |
| 72 | +</section> |
| 73 | +``` |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +### Frontend |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +The modern frontend is so tough that you have to use particular bundler systems in order to build necessary styles and scripts. My favourite one is [webpack](https://webpack.github.io/), so I'll describe how to configure it. Usually to build necessary styles using [CSS Modules](https://github.com/css-modules/) you have to use a [css-loader](https://github.com/webpack/css-loader): |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +```javascript |
| 80 | +module: { |
| 81 | + loaders: [ |
| 82 | + { |
| 83 | + test: /\.css$/i, |
| 84 | + loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract('style', |
| 85 | + `css?modules&localIdentName=[name]_[local]__[hash:base64:5]`), |
| 86 | + }, |
| 87 | + ], |
| 88 | +}, |
| 89 | +``` |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +In this example I provide a custom template for the generic class names `[name]_[local]__[hash:base64:5]` which is also used by require hook (see the `cmrh.conf.js` file). |
