TaskCluster Neutrino Web Preset
This neutrino preset enables building JSX-supported React-based web applications with a TaskCluster configuration for Webpack, ESLint, Babel, Karma+Mocha, along with a static local development server.
This preset extends the neutrino-preset-taskcluster and neutrino-preset-react presets by enhancing them with TaskCluster-Web-specific configuration.
Getting started
Install neutrino and neutrino-preset-taskcluster-web as development dependencies in your project:
# npm
npm install --save-dev neutrino neutrino-preset-taskcluster-web
# yarn
yarn add neutrino neutrino-preset-taskcluster-web --dev
Modify your package.json scripts to use the TaskCluster Web preset to build your project
{
"config": {
"preset": "neutrino-preset-taskcluster-web"
},
"scripts": {
"start": "PORT=4000 neutrino start",
"build": "neutrino build",
"test": "neutrino test"
}
}
Add your source code to src/
, which is compiled using Babel's es2015, react, and stage-0 presets.
A number of loaders are pre-configured, allowing you to use import
and export
for CSS, images,
HTML, and JSON. During development, run npm start
or yarn start
to start a local development server for running
the application. When you are ready to build your project into static assets, run npm run build
or yarn run build
which will create a build/
directory in the root of your project.
If you would like to use testing in your project, create a test/
directory, and write tests in
JS files with file names ending in _test.js
, e.g. test/homepage_test.js
or
test/users/admin_test.js
. Run tests with npm test
or yarn test
, which will output results to the console, and
also creates test coverage to a .coverage/
directory.
Overriding the preset
There may be times where this preset works well for you, but you need to change some of the defaults it provides. Maybe you don't like the opinion of the ESLint rules, or want to add more types of file loading. Whatever the reason for needing changes, you can either create a custom preset based on this one, or change the values on a project-by-project basis.
To override in your project, create a new file to use as a preset which will modify the existing
one, e.g. custom-preset.js
:
// bring in the existing preset
const preset = require('neutrino-preset-taskcluster-web');
// modify the preset
// re-export the preset
module.exports = preset;
Now you can pass this file to neutrino to use as the new preset:
{
"config": {
"preset": "custom-preset.js"
}
}
You can also choose to load different presets for different targets if you so wish:
{
"config": {
"preset": "custom-preset.js"
},
"scripts": {
"start": "neutrino start",
"test": "neutrino test --preset some-other-preset",
"build": "neutrino build --preset neutrino-preset-taskcluster-web"
}
}
Overriding the default page template
By default, HTML files are built using the template.ejs
from the neutrino-preset-web preset.
If you wish to use a custom template or if the default just doesn't suit your needs, you can create
a template.ejs
file in your src/
directory, and it will be picked up automatically.
