generator-static-app

A generator for creating a static web app

Installation

First, install Yeoman and generator-static-app using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-static-app

Then generate your new project:

yo static-app appName

##Running the project:

Put your static app within the public directory of the generated project, then run

gulp serve

and point your browser to the livereloaded server at localhost:3000 to see your app

##Building the project for Production:

Build the app for production, which minifies and optimizes files etc with

gulp build

then, you can run this production ready code with

NODE_ENV=production node .

Additional Notes:

Do include all your css and js links within the inject:css and inject:js blocks within public/index.html. This way, all your required js and css files will be minified and linked during production
