- Stylus and nib CSS preprocessors
- Babel es6 transpiling
- Nodemon - to watch server files
- Express server integrated with hot loading

- Static files are served from
public/using expres.static.
You can run the app in a snap using the npm scripts described below. These scripts cause the app to read the configuration from /config/index.js.
$ npm run hot-dev
Watches for changes to your react components in the /src directory as well as sets up nodemon to watch your /server directory and automatically reloads everything!
$ npm run dev
Run this when you dont want any file watching but need to use development configuration from /config/index.js.
$ npm run prod
Run this when you want to use the production environment configuration from /config/index.js and production settings for webpack.
See the package.json scripts section for more details on the scripts.
