A scaffold for developers to get started writing node applications

Primary LanguageJavaScript

Start building your own website

This is a repository that I created to help others develop their websites in React.

Tech stack

Getting started

Setting up the basic environment in Node:

You will need to install Node globally if you do not have it installed already on your local drive:

sudo npm install -g

Installing Nodemon is also highly recommended as it watches for any changes that are saved and will automatically restart your application with the updated code base.

npm install nodemon -g 

Installing dependencies

The prescribed dependencies needed for building a website are listed in the package.json file of this repository. Once this repo is cloned to your local drive, from within the root directory:

npm install

Additional information

More granular instructions as a guide to building a website are included in my blog post, if needed.

The steps to create a website include:

  1. File architecture
  2. Setting up the basic environment in Node
  3. Installing the React framework
  4. Creating a webpack and configuration
  5. Building the basic front-end components
  6. Styling and CSS
  7. Viewing on local host
  8. Deploying on Heroku
