is Yeoman template to help users for ReactJS initial project setup. I'm trying to not use bunch of libraries that won't be used. Through an interactive guide, the user can set whether he wants to use the version from CDN or not, how to pack the final file (Browserify or Webpack), to use Gulp or just npm scripts, etc.
- CDN - React (and ReactDOM) library will be injected in HTML page from official React CDN. Latest version will be used, so if you need specific version please update
src/index.htmlfile - Built - React libraries will be downloaded as npm module, and used in final release with require.
Select library to pack source files to final Javascript release:
- Webpack
- Browserify
If you want to use modern EcmaScript features, or JSX templating for React components you must to use Babel.
- React - used to transpile JSX HTML code to React components
- Newest EcmaScript - used to update your modern Javascript code, to be supported in older browsers
- Standalone - with this option we will create script(s) in
./scripts/folder that will be used for build. In this case you must to execute those scripts manually - Gulp - will configure
gulpfile.js- main Gulp configuration file with all tasks that user can execute.
this question will be asked only if Gulp is selected. If you select it whenever you change source files, Gulp will execute task for autobuild.
this question will be asked only if Gulp is selected. If you set Y browser-sync server will be started on default port (3000). To change port open gulpfile.js and on "serve" task replace _port variable. You can open this local web address on several browsers, and on each change, all browsers will be refreshed.
Your project is generated, and npm config file (package.json) is set. If you don't need to change it manually you can select Y. If you want to update something, change module versions (by default latest stable will be loaded), you need to run npm install manually.
