React Baby

Generate a lightweight boilerplate for your full stack React application.

Getting Started

npm install -g react-baby

Generating Your Boilerplate

In your cli simply type...

react-baby

This will generate a folder called react-baby-boilerplate in your cwd. The next argument after react-baby will give you the option to name your directory.

For example...

react-baby my-project

will create a folder named my-project.

Working With Your Boilerplate

Before you can get your local server running, you must...

npm install

After that you can run any of the following three pre-packaged servers, via npm scripts...

Webpack Dev Server

npm run dev

This command runs webpack-dev-server and allows for changes to your front end to be immediately reflected.

Node Dev Server

npm run start:dev

This command runs nodemon and allows for changes to your back end to be immediately reflected.

Node Production Server

For production...

npm run start

All servers run on port 8080 by default
