Quickly Bootstrap A React App Using Reason

The ReasonML language and ecosystem is great for developing React apps. As you might expect from the React community, there is a set of reason-scripts for a ReasonML/React project which works similarly to the standard create-react-app scripts.

First, you need to install the BuckleScript platform and this must be done using npm.

$ npm install -g bs-platform

From there, it is a matter of using the yarn create command to generate a React app that uses the aforementioned reason-scripts.

$ yarn create react-app my-reason-react-app --scripts-version reason-scripts

Next steps from here are documented in the README.md and should be familiar to anyone who has used create-react-app in the past.
