SEO friendly React Bootstrap

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Why?

This is a basic setup that can be altered in your own needs, but it provides the bases for having a SEO first react-project. One of the main problems of pet-projects, or small startup ideas, is to make a website crawlable after it has been developed. This project aims to solve this at the beggining, while leaving you the freedom to alter it in any way.

What does it do?

• Generation of sitemap.xml and robots.txt
• Rendering pages in the server side through /src/server/renderer.js
• Updating title and description metatags in each page, done in the server side.
• Pre-loading data in the server side and sending it to the client once is loaded
• Structured Data with JSONLD, provided by the package react-structured-data

How can it be improved?

• Transfering whole state from the app, not only a route, from the server to the client

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

npm run start-ssr

Runs the server, this way you can test how the SSR works. Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

There will be no reloads after editing.

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (Webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
