This tutorial uses the boiler plate “ReactPWA” created by my team at Atyantik Technologies Private Limited, and assumes that you have nodejs ≥ 8.4 installed on your machine.
While working on many challenging project we faced a common requirement of creating a boilerplate that takes care of SEO, Progressive nature of app and optimization. Thus we created a boilerplate that supports Server Side Rendering, Code Splitting, Social Sharable cards (yes even for dynamic pages), Image optimizations etc.
NOTE: The boilerplate is production ready and have been used on live sites but is still in beta phase. We are looking for contributors! So if you have good experience with ReactJS. Please help us improve the code.
So lets get started with Progressive Web Application.
