For instance, for one application, this is what it looks like:<\/p>\n<pre lang=\"javascript\">\n\"use strict\";\n\nlet start = require(\"..\/SearchClient.js\").start;\nlet App = require(\".\/SSLSearchApp.jsx\").App;\n\nstart(App);\n<\/pre>\n<p>The App page is the React component that renders the page. The &#8220;start&#8221; function looks like the below. Note this is specific to my application, and needs to work both server and client side, if you&#8217;re doing server side rendering (I&#8217;m using feature detection to swap methods). The &#8220;object.assign&#8221; bit gets you around a V8 defect that surfaces in React 15.<\/p>\n<pre lang=\"javascript\">\n\"use strict\";\n\ndelete Object.assign;\nObject.assign = require(\"object.assign\").shim();\n\nlet searchEvents = require(\".\/SearchEvents.js\");\nlet ReactDOM = require(\"react-dom\");\nlet React = require(\"react\");\n\nfunction start(App) {\n  if (!!window.initialUrl) {\n    searchEvents.initialRender(\n      window.initialUrl,\n      (searchResults) => {\n        let AppWrapper = React.createClass({\n          render: function () {\n            return (\n              <App \n                server={false}\n                routeParams={window.routeParams} \n                searchResults={searchResults} \/>);\n          }\n        });\n\n        let domNode = document.getElementById(\"container\");\n\n        ReactDOM.render(\n          React.createElement(AppWrapper),\n          domNode\n        );\n      }    \n    );    \n  } else {\n    render();\n  }\n}\n\nexports.start = start;\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to set up multiple entry points (applications \/ pages) with Webpack<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[302,455,592],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.9 -
