Universal JS Boilerplate

This is a scaffolding project that includes boilerplate code for:

• Node
• Heroku
• Babel, Babel runtime, ES6/2015, ES7/2016
• Express, with a default server, some example code and routes, static file sharing, and proxy code
• SCSS-like syntax driven by PostCSS
• Some example SCSS, grids, normalize and typeplate css kits (installed from bower)
• An example index.html for serving files
• An example .gitignore for the project
• A host of npm scripts for watching and building your files

How to get started

1. Start your own project folder

   cd ~/Github\ Projects/
   mkdir example01
   cd example01

2. Install this package through npm (Warning: this will delete/overwrite files, so ONLY use this on brand new project folders)

   npm install universal-js-boilerplate

3. Watch the package scaffold out files in your project

4. Link or install global tools like bower, babel, etc...

   # first time ever installing this package on your machine?
   npm run setup
   # if not then just run..
   npm run linkup

5. Start your server:

   npm run s
   
   # Alternatively, if you need nodemon to auto-reload your server 
   # (when doing server-side work)
   # npm run server

6. Ready to push your code live, and want to minify your code with uglifyjs?

   npm run build
