express and server rendering

[darul75]

Hi again,

I have tried using generated react app to be rendered on server side, by instance with Express with no success...

Would you mind do provide a simple example.

My idea was to use generated ES5 js sources instead of ES6 not handled quite well with Express.
Then see if bundle can be digest in server express code to call Application react root node.

var express = require('express')
  , app = express()
  , React = require('react/addons')
  , components = require('TODO'); // js react component file ? app.js ?

var Application = React.createFactory(components.Application);  

// application
app.get("/*", function(req, res) {
  res.contentType = "text/html; charset=utf8";
  var html = Application();
  res.end(html);  
});


var port = +(process.env.PORT || 8080);
app.listen(port, function() {
  console.log("Server listening on port " + port);
});

I have looked into react-starter but looks complicated and not ES6 by default
