Real-World example: What do you need?

[rherwig]

Hey everyone,

since we plan on creating a real-world example for a PWA using this React 16, it would be great to know, what features you desire in a real-world example. Please suggest features here.

The first ones I can think of are:

• All features of the regular master (SSR, webpack, ESNext)
• API and react-router along with some mock requests
• PWA features like app manifest and service worker
• Maybe a self signed certificate with HTTP2?

These all sound good. One of the top of my head would be adding somethhing like react-helmet for tags, page titles etc, useful for seo if you're using the stack for a landing page.

Also maybe some tests, I usually use a mix of mocha, chai and enzyme.

[rherwig]

Never saw helmet before. I'm gonna take a look.

As far as testing goes, I used jest and enzyme for most of my react apps. But anyways, testing examples sound great.

Any news for React Helmet implementation?

[rherwig]

No progress so far, as I was kinda busy the last few weeks. I will create a dedicated issue for that and implement in the upcoming days

Not sure if this is way out of scope of what you're asking, but basically I'm wanting a fully featured out of the box PWA with:

• Authentication
• Protected routes
• Dynamic social media sharing tags
• Forms
• Blur in images

[rherwig]

I am actually working on a "real" PWA example right now.

Forms, progressive images and routing is definitely part of it!
However, auth and social sharing might be difficult to provide for a "ready to use" template project, since they either involve database access and/or personal API tokens.

What's your deployment/hosting philosophy? I'm currently playing around with Kubernetes and container based microservices - but I'm finding it's probably way too complicated compared to something like Heroku.

[rherwig]

I'm not really sure... on the one hand, docker seems really nice. But there are lots of things to consider - like handling container restarts, clustering, ... Service like firebase and/or heroku work for me, but I tend to self-host my apps, using docker for development and ansible for deploying (but without the container).

I am kinda stuck with how to deploy the app I have built on top this. :(
I am trying with firebase hosting.
Any suggestion?

I build this as a docker image - and deploy the docker image somewhere. He is an example application that does this: https://github.com/dwjohnston/tinymassive-demo/tree/master

Using a docker container is generally a good approach. However, I would suggest to use pm2 instead of the pure node executable.

What about the Install button? :D
