I'm a happy little skeleton. You can clone me to use as a starter on your projects! I have React, Redux, Sequelize, and Express all just rattling around in here ready to go.
If you don't have it, I'll complain and tell you how to install it.
Create a git repo however you want to. You can fork me on Github, but you can only do
that once (so weird!). You can also create a Github repo and clone it, or just do
git init
in an empty directory on your machine.
After you have a repo on your machine:
git remote add bones https://github.com/queerviolet/bones.git
git fetch bones
git merge bones/master
And then you'll have me! If I change—which I probably will—you can get the most recent version by doing this again:
git fetch bones
git merge bones/master
I don't have a name. I think I used to have one, but it turned to dust right along with my heart and liver and pituitary gland and all that stuff.
Anyway, I'll need one. Give me a name in package.json
.
Short and sweet:
npm install
npm run build-watch
npm start
npm start
doesn't build, so watch out for that. The reason it doesn't build is because you
probably want to watch the build and run me in separate terminals. Otherwise, build errors get
all mixed in with HTTP request logging.
/app
has the React/Redux setup. main.jsx
is the entry point.
/db
has the Sequelize models and database setup. It'll create the database for you if it doesn't exist,
assuming you're using postgres.
/server
has the Express server and routes. start.js
is the entry point.
/bin
has scripts. (Right now it has one script that creates a useful symlink.)
I use require
and module.exports
in .js
files.
I use import
and export
in .jsx
files, unless require
makes for cleaner code.
I use two spaces, no semi-colons, and trailing commas where possible. I'll have a linter someday soon.
