🗒️ notes on examples

These examples use Yarn for all npm scripts, so either install Yarn or replace all uses of yarn in the scripts with npm run.

I use asdf to manage my Node runtimes. Some examples require specific Node versions, see the .tool-versions file or use this tool to get the exact versions.

🔧 code compatibility

Everything was tested on Ubuntu 18.10. If you wish for Windows native support please submit an issue so we can work on a Windows branch. Please report any macOS errors as I do not have access to a device to test. My development environment can be found here.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 contributions

Thanks goes to these wonderful people (emoji key):

_{James Hegedus} 📝 💻 📖 💡 🤔

This project follows the all-contributors specification. Contributions of any kind welcome!

Please note: I do intend to write a blog post about each of the examples here. I have a lot of examples in various stages of progress that I will release when I have the blog post written. If you wish to contribute to examples prior to a post being written I will of course credit all contributions to each particular example 😄

If you have a request please open an issue so we can discuss how & why it should be implemented.
