#code-slinger

Get your React project up and running in 10 seconds with Webpack hot reloading. Boilerplate code is based on Dan Abramov's React Transform Boilerplate.

Basic Usage

10 second method:

npm install -g code-slinger
code-slinger bootstrap
code-slinger react-server

Visit localhost:8000.

You get this file structure:

├── .babelrc
├── .eslintrc
├── .gitignore
├── dist
├── index.html
├── node_modules
├── package.json
└── src
    ├── App.js
    ├── colors.js
    └── index.js

Thats it!

Need a production build?

# Bundle is dropped in dist/
code-slinger build

Deeper usage

# Install code-slinger and save it
npm install --save code-slinger

# Bootstrap the files
./node_modules/.bin/code-slinger bootstrap

Add this to package.json

// ...
"scripts": {
  "start": "code-slinger react-server",
  "build": "code-slinger build"
},
// ...

Run this:

npm start

Visit localhost:8000.

Want to run a production bundle build?

# Bundle is dropped in dist/
npm run build

Want your own config.webpack.js file to be used?

# Optional: generate a config.webpack.js
./node_modules/.bin/code-slinger gen-webpack
# Either way make sure you have a config named
# config.webpack.js in Project Root

Note: For any arbitrary Webpack config to work with code-slinger: Please replace __dirname with process.cwd() in the config file
