A WIP boilerplate project

• [x] I'm a big believer in the monorepo -> lerna to manage sub-packages

• [ ] Version control for packages is important -> sematic-release

• [x] For version management, everyone should be using asdf -> .tool-versions to manage file

• [ ] yarn is a better package manager -> yarn.lock

• [x] There should be community github folder -> .github folder (patterned from react-boilerplate)

• [x] Editors configuration provided -> .editorconfig

• [x] git config -> .gitignore and .gitattribute

• [ ] docs are important, codes are not docs -> docs folder documents everything

• [ ] try out react-storybook

• [ ] There should always be a sane defaults option -> create-react-app style

• [ ] Once broken, there should be options -> yeoman

• [ ] While working, you should be able to add new files of a certain type easily -> plop

• [ ] static typing is extremely useful -> flowtype

• [ ] JS build tools are helpful -> Gulp (Broccoli looks interesting)

• [ ] Codesplitting and tree shaking make sense -> Webpack 2

• [ ] Webpack is necessary, but config is tedious -> webpack-blocks

• [ ] polyfill should only be done as needed -> polyfill.io a la react-universally

• [ ] Universal code is needed as an option, less meaningless context switching and rewriting of code

• [ ] Async is everywhere and there can be multiple outputs -> Observables

• [ ] Functional programming is more declarative (aka easier to implement) -> use Rambda/RxJS

• [ ] CSS-in-JS is the future for component-based systems (which are great b/c fractal)

  • styled-components
  • styletron/fela/este

• [ ] Testing is needed -> Jest w/ enzyme is the way to go

• [ ] CI testing makes sense and should be done -> circle CI

• [ ] Non-nested file structures are intimidating -> follow react-boilerplate on dot-file hiding

• [ ] Docker is composition at OS-level (not a silver bullet, but is nice)

• [ ] Firebase makes sense as an option

• [ ] Phoenix makes sense as an option

• [ ] GraphQL needs to be an option (appollo)

• [ ] zeit now is handy, set up out of box (with Docker)
