Questions

I was trying to set up a full stack Reason app. When I looked at your example everything happens in the first commit and it's difficult for me to see the steps. I was wondering if this is roughly what you did to set up this project?

1. initialize a ReasonReact app
   bsb -init my-react-app -theme react
2. ignore the JS files created in the build process
   add *.bs.js to .gitignore file
3. create client and shared sub-directory
   update the entry point of Webpack
   add the subdirs to the bsconfig file
4. add reason-apollo
   Follow the install instructions in https://github.com/apollographql/reason-apollo
   • yarn add reason-apollo
   • yarn add --dev graphql_ppx
   • yarn add react-apollo apollo-client apollo-cache-inmemory apollo-link apollo-link-context apollo-link-error apollo-link-http graphql graphql-tag
   • Add reason-apollo to your bs-dependencies and graphql_ppx/ppx to your ppx_flags
5. create a opam package
   • opam add demo . -n
   • updates the build command to use jbuilder
     https://jbuilder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html#invocation-from-opam
   • add jbuilder, lwt, graphql, graphql-lwt as dependencies
6. add dune config
   dune-project, server/jbuild, shared/jbuild
