Web app

Reasonable starting point for building a web app.

Features

Heavily commented webpack configuration with reasonable defaults
JSX, ES6, and ES7 support with babel.js
CSS Modules
Source maps included in all builds
Development server with hot reload when possible and refresh otherwise
Production builds with cache busting and asset minification
Testing environment using karma to run tests and mocha as the framework
Code coverage when tests are run
No gulp and no grunt, just npm run-scripts

Installation

Install node, my favored approach is using Node Version Manager.

Clone the repo and change origin git remote.

$ npm install

Scripts

All scripts are run with npm run [script], for example: npm run test.

build - generate a minified build to public folder
dev - start development server, try it by opening http://localhost:8080/
lint - lint the project using standard
test - lint and run all tests
test:unit - run all unit tests
tdd - continuously run unit tests watching for changes

See what each script does by looking at the scripts section in package.json.

NOTE: to generate a full production build you must run the build command with NODE_ENV=production.

Linting

Use standard for linting. It has editor plugins.
