Simple boilerplate for a Flask backend and React client including:

• ES6 transpiling via Webpack
• Hot module reloading via Webpack Dev Server
• State management via Redux
• Tests via Pytest and Jest
• Linting via Pylint and Eslint
• Travis CI for automatic testing and linting

To install the boilerplate dependencies, you can run:

git clone https://github.com/YaleDHLab/flask-react-boilerplate
cd flask-react-boilerplate
npm install --no-optional
pip install -r requirements.txt

Once the dependencies are installed, you can start the api with the following command:

npm run production

That will start the server on port 7082. To run the development server with hot module reloading, run:

npm run start

That will start the webpack dev server on port 7081.
