In addition to being a new syntax for OCaml, Reason is a toolchain that makes it easy to get started. In this chapter, we'll do the following:
- Learn about the Reason toolchain
- Configure our editor
- Use bsb to start a pure Reason project
- Learn about bsconfig.json
- Write an example pure Reason application that manipulates the DOM
- Use bsb to start a ReasonReact project
- Get comfortable using webpack within a Reason project
To follow along, clone this book's GitHub repository and start from this chapter's directory. You're also welcome to start from a blank project:
git clone https://github.com/PacktPublishing/ReasonML-Quick-Start-Guide.git
cd ReasonML-Quick-Start-Guide
cd Chapter02/pure-reason-start
npm install
This chapter is meant to get you comfortable with the Reason toolchain. We'll have separate development environments...
