Node Bootstrap is a project skeleton for Node.js 6.x development with Twitter's Bootstrap (no pun intended) framework.
Project skeleton provides: common node.js webapp layout for responsive web development, suggests some common Node modules and best-practices, as well as provides two convenient shell scripts:
- start_dev.sh will start your server.js node app in single-CPU mode with hot-realoading of code enabled.
- start.sh will start your server.js without hot-reloading, but with as many child processes as you have CPU cores.
By default, start_dev.sh also lets Express.js handle static files so you don't have to have a web server. The production version: start.sh assumes you want your web-server (Nginx?) to take on this job.
Project is still in its infancy. Please use issue queue to submit any bug fixes or suggestions.
Assuming you already have node and npm installed (If not: this blog post can help on Debian/Ubuntu and you can figure out similar steps, with the help of HomeBrew on Mac):
> npm install
> chmod u+x start_dev.sh
> ./start_dev.sh
You should see a simple "hello" at: http://localhost:9000/hello. You can customize it by visting http://localhost:9000/hello?name=yourname but really what you should probably do instead is dive into the code and see how it is put together.
