My current webapp project boilerplate

---

The barebones scaffolding for any new project. Includes:

• ignore files (.gitignore, .jshintignore)
• basic folders structure
• basic tasks for a npm-based build system
• config files for linux and windows CI (travis, semaphore and appveyor)
• local webserver for serving the app and API

Technology choices/stack

Javascript is the main language and is used for almost everything, from the build scripts, to the web-server, to the application UI, back-end API and front-end logic, you name it…

node.js/io.js is fun to work with and the npm ecosystem of open source tools and libraries is insane.

This boilerplate is influenced by React's Flux architecture and aims to be used with React components (jsx files).

Function	Tool
Task manager/build system	npm scripts, with the help of shelljs for compatibility
JS Modules	node/CommonJS style, require('somelibrary'), module.exports
Bundler	browserify
Dev Server/Back-end API	koa
Front-end UI	React
Internationalization	react-intl

Comming soon / considering:

Function	Tool
Browser reload	BrowserSync
Flux implementation	hoverboard, alt or refulx
Styles	radium

Unrelated recommendations:

Function	Tool
Text editor	zed
OS	lubuntu
Window Manager	i3
Browser/Dev-tools	Firefox Developer Edition
