Quickly Bootstrap A React App Using Reason

February 13, 2018 ยท View on GitHub

The ReasonML language and ecosystem is great for developing React apps. As you might expect from the React community, there is a set of reason-scripts for a ReasonML/React project which works similarly to the standard create-react-app scripts.

First, you need to install the BuckleScript platform and this must be done using npm.

$ npm install -g bs-platform

From there, it is a matter of using the yarn create command to generate a React app that uses the aforementioned reason-scripts.

$ yarn create react-app my-reason-react-app --scripts-version reason-scripts

Next steps from here are documented in the README.md and should be familiar to anyone who has used create-react-app in the past.
