Modern JS Starter

A small set of tools to get a modern javascript project up and running.

Dependencies

• Node (v8.9.1)
• Yarn (v1.3.2)

Tools provided

• Babel: ES6 support
• ESLint: File linting
• Webpack: Asset bundling
• Jest: Unit testing

Getting started

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/tgdev/modern-js-starter.git

2. Setup the project

yarn setup

• Deletes the cloned origin repo (.git)
• Updates package.json to match your project's details
• Installs dependencies

3. Fire up local dev server

yarn start

• Watches js tests
• Watches js files for lint errors
• Opens new browser tab at http://localhost:8080

4. Review demo folder

A dummy function and accompanying test exist in src/demo/. You can delete this folder and its contents whenever you like. (Also remember to remove the import from src/index.js)

Where's that cool thing I like?

Looking for React? Redux? MobX? CSS-modules? CSS-in-JS? Angular? Enzyme? Immutable? Hot reloading?

Feel free to fork this repo and build upon it.

This really is just a bare bones starting point to use the latest features of ES6 and provide decent unit testing via Jest.

This has really been created for my own personal use so I'm not really looking to build it out. Plus there's a gajillion boilerplate, starter-kits out there so make sure you check those out.
