React SPA, the Framework™ 🚀

React SPA is the simplest way to build modern React web applications.

It's not just a framework, it's the absence of one.

Why React SPA? 🌟

• ⚡ Zero Config: Start building immediately with no setup hassle.
• 🚀 Instant Load Times: Your app is ready before you even blink.
• 🛠️ Compatible Libraries: No adapter libraries needed—install anything directly.
• 📦 Lightweight: 0 bytes when zipped. It literally doesn’t get smaller than this.
• 🌐 Huge Ecosystem of Components: Plug-and-play any React component with ease. The community has built everything you’ll ever need (and more).
• 🤝 Big Community: Thousands of developers who will totally understand your decision to use React SPA.
• 🔮 Future-Proof: It’s so simple, it’ll never be outdated—because there’s nothing to update!
• 🎨 Unparalleled Developer Freedom: No constraints, no opinions. Just you, React, and your imagination.
• 🌐 Blazing Fast Deployments: Static files deploy faster than any framework-rendered app.
• 🕹️ Full Control: Handle routing, state, and data fetching your way. No hand-holding here.
• 🔧 No Build System Lock-In: Works seamlessly with Vite, Parcel, or any other bundler you like.
• 🏅 SEO-Ready: Just add <meta> tags to your HTML—problem solved! Or pre-render your pages!
• 📈 Scalable: Infinite scalability, since there's no server to crash.
• 🎯 Zero Dependencies: Well, except React. But it doesn’t get lighter than that!

More reasons to love React SPA, the Framework

• Pure Client-Side Goodness: No need to worry about servers, static rendering, or rehydration. We send everything, everything, all at once to the client. Nothing can go wrong with that approach.
• No Adapter Libraries: Common libraries just work™. No need for a adapter libraries that sit between the framework and the library. Just install the library directly. React SPA allows you to make use of all the thousands of libaries that only work on the client.
• Easy to understand: You might have skill issues like me. Learned React in 2016 and scared of changes. React SPA is here to comfort you.
• Batteries NOT included: With React SPA, you don't have to deal with pre-configured tools and features you will never use. You start with blank slate much like your bank account after deploying SSR.
• Simplifed Deployments: Deploy your app anywhere that serves static files: a CDN, GitHub Pages, your cousin's Raspberry Pi. React SPA is ready to go.
• No Overhead: Why let a framework dictate your choices? React SPA encourages you to embrace freedom and handle routing, data fetching, and state management the way we did when AI was just Deep Learning.

What is React SPA, the Framework?

SPA stands for Single Page Application. It means all your frontend code is bundled together and served to the client in one go. The app runs entirely in the browser, dynamically updating the content on a single HTML page to mimic navigating between multiple pages. Instead of loading new pages from a server, the SPA updates the current page using JavaScript, providing a seamless user experience.

Getting Started 🏁

Set up your build environment with Vite or Parcel for maximum compatibility.

Setting Up Vite 🛠️

npm create vite@latest my-react-spa --template react
cd my-react-spa
npm install
npm run dev

Setting Up Parcel 🛠️

npm init -y
npm install parcel
npx parcel index.html

After this, take a deep breath and marvel at your achievement. 🎉 You’ve installed everything you need to build a React SPA (TM)!

Deploying 🌐

Deploying your React SPA is as simple as hosting a blank HTML file. Just drag and drop it onto Netlify, Vercel, or anywhere static files are accepted.

Scaling your app? Don’t worry, there's no extra server. Your static host should handle that automatically! 🚀
