In this example, the basic_rendering example is modified to submit the Comment Form through ajax and update the Comment List by fetching the updated comments and rendering the application with new props.

### Usage
Install the dependencies

```
pip install -r requirements.txt
npm install
```

Start the render server

### Usage in development
Extending the explanation in the [README](https://github.com/markfinger/python-react/blob/master/README.md#usage-in-development) section of the repo, restarting the render server everytime a change is made in the `.jsx` files can be avoided, by running:
```
node render_server.js
npm run watch
```

Start the python server

alongside the python dev server:
```
python example.py
```
The forever utility check for changes and restarts the `render_server` accordingly.

### Usage in production
Node server can be hosted in multiple ways. Either in the same box as flask server, or elsewhere. One way is to run it as a supervisord job on the same server. The React app needs to bundled as production ready before deploying the python server. This bundle is included in the `base` template for the app to render again on the client side. For bundling, run:
```
npm run postinstall
```
