React is from Facebook. Will try to use React for frontend and Play for backend. Article on this here.
- Install create_react_app globally:
sudo npm install -g create_react_app - Create application:
create_react_app frontend - Install dependencies (cp, rm-rf), within frontend/ directory:
cd frontend && npm install ncp rimraf -D - Modify build step in package.json
"build": "rimraf ../public && react-scripts build && ncp build ../public && rimraf build",. Copies files to /public, which is used by play. Also set proxy to localhost:9000. See here
