Meteor's create app is pretty handy, but once you settle in to a pattern, it's nice to have your own skeleton that is a little less vanilla than theirs.
Herein lies mine.
It includes the following:
- .csslint - For npm's csslint
- .editorconfig - Set up some simple rules for compliant editors
- .eslint - Based on node-style-guide & enhanced for Meteor compliance
- .gitignore - Ignores vim swap files, .meteor/local, packages, private
- .jscsrc - Super tuned for Meteor awesomeness, quickly fix your style
- .meteor - A sane set of packages
- .tern-project - For tern compliant editors, provides Meteor completions
- /app - Main application container w/client/lib/server, etc
- /drop-ins - A place to put in stand alone Meteor components (not packages)
- /packages - A place to put your modularized local code
- /private - A place to hide your privates
- /public - A place to show your assetts
- README.md - This file! Should be edited for every project.
- settings-dev.json - A place for settings, should your project require them
- settings-production.json - A place for settings, should your project require them
I will flesh out the app files sooner or later with some useful code templates.
git clone git@github.com:iDoMeteor/meteor-skeleton
mv meteor-skeleton <your new app name>
cd <your new app name>
rm -rf .git
git init
git add -A .
git commit -m "First commit, initialized repo"
find app/ -type f -exec vim README.md settings* {} +
