Installation

Download to your project directory, add README.md, and commit:

git clone https://github.com/jsrbn/js-library-boilerplate

Usage

You can either build, watch or minify your library:

Build:

# use this to build your library and to create a minified version of it at the same time

# using yarn
yarn build

# using npm
npm run build

Minify:

# use this to minify the library.js file to library.min.js

# using yarn
yarn minify

# using npm
npm run minify

Watch:

# use this to build your code every time you update it. Note: It won't be minified automatically

# using yarn
yarn watch

# using npm
npm run watch

Why?

I created this repo because I ran through the problem of creating an environment for a standalone-library I wanted to build. There was no boilerplate which had the following features:

• Babel Next
• Modules with Browserify or Webpack
• Live Build (Watchify)
• Code minimizing (UglifyJS)

so I had to create my own.
