What is it?
Flint is all you need ever.
Installation
Installation is done through npm:
npm install -g flint
Generate a new base Flint stack with:
flint new [name]
And finally in your app directory, run it on localhost:3010:
flint run
CLI
The CLI has three main functions: creating new apps, running them, and building them for release.
Note that when you run your app, it will run in development mode by default which is much slower but easier to debug. Run it in production mode to get a feel for real-world performance.
CLI Usage:
Usage: flint [command]
new [name] creates a directory with a new Flint-starter scaffold
run runs a Flint application with express/webpack-dev-server
build builds a Flint application to a bundle in ./build
debug use this for opening issues!
The build and run commands take a variety of options to help ease your development, such as:
