Universal JS Boilerplate

---

This is a scaffolding project that includes boilerplate code for:

• Node
• Heroku
• Babel, Babel runtime, ES6/2015, ES7/2016
• Express, with a default server, some example code and routes, static file sharing, and proxy code
• SCSS-like syntax driven by PostCSS
• Some example SCSS, grids, normalize and typeplate css kits (installed from bower)
• An example index.html for serving files
• An example .gitignore for the project
• A host of npm scripts for watching and building your files

How to get started

1. Start your own project folder with a git clone

   cd ~/Github\ Projects/
   git clone git@github.com:matthiasak/universal-js-boilerplate.git NEWPROJECT
   cd NEWPROJECT

2. Install prerequisites

   npm install
   
   # if you've not installed the global tools before
   npm run setup
   # otherwise, if you've installed these before
   npm run linkup

3. Start your server:

   npm run s
   
   # Alternatively, if you need nodemon to auto-reload your server
   # (when doing server-side work)
   # npm run server

4. Ready to push your code live, and want to minify your code with uglifyjs?

   npm run build
