Welcome to Remix!

This is a starter repo as an example to configure the project with:

If you know the target server (Netlify or Vercel for example), then see DIY.

Remember to update after cloning

yarn upgrade-interactive --latest

Development

From your terminal:

Start development server

yarn dev

Lint files

yarn lint

Format files

yarn format

Test

Remix uses ESbuild and this project makes use jest.config as a module hence the *.msj file extension. File path aliases are generated via ts.config using a library called alias-hq.

yarn test

To run alias-hq after updating the project structure for your purposes:

yarn alias-hq

This starts your app in development mode, rebuilding assets on file changes.

Deployment

First, build your app for production:

yarn build

Then run the app in production mode:

yarn start

Now you'll need to pick a host to deploy it to.

DIY

If you're familiar with deploying node applications, the built-in Remix app server is production-ready.

Make sure to deploy the output of remix build

  • build/
  • public/build/

Using a Template

When you ran npx create-remix@latest there were a few choices for hosting. You can run that again to create a new project, then copy over your app/ folder to the new project that's pre-configured for your target server.

cd ..
# create a new project, and pick a pre-configured host
npx create-remix@latest
cd my-new-remix-app
# remove the new project's app (not the old one!)
rm -rf app
# copy your app over
cp -R ../my-old-remix-app/app app
# copy over the packet.json and 
yarn install

Additional / TODO

Note on running tests: Tests will break on routes using useLoaderData. This repo is waiting on an official example from Kent C. Dodds.

  • SASS/SCSS: It is possible to setup SASS/SCSS with this project, however with CSS variables and other modern APIs, vanilla CSS is usually enough. Reference Best practices & Setting up SASS with Remix
  • Optimistic UI. Remix can help you build optimistic UI with useTransition and useFetcher.
  • SEO (sitemap). At the time of writing this, there is no native Remix method of generating a sitemap. There is ongoing discussion and potential options for current use here.
