html-skeleton
a minimal template for just makin a web page that does some stuff.
or at least, it was that. Then I got the idea in my head that I wanted to be able to have opulent modern contrivances like a module system and a half decent way to be able to test my code. And because Javascript is ... Javascript, that outlandish fantasy led me down having to set up Webpack, Babel, and a node package.json. And, since minimalism went out the door the second I wanted to put code in more than one file, I installed webpack-dev-server too.
Still, this is a reasonably small and understandable template for small sites and experiments. And it's extendable too.
Usage
Clone it, then probably rm -rf .git so you can start your own history.
yarn start will start the dev server, which you can hit at http://localhost:8080.
The public directory is where the files that will be served live. You write html and css directly in this dir, but Javascript you write in the src dir. Then Babel and Webpack do their thing and make it usable for the browser.
Tests
I chose Jest as the testing framework because that seems to be the current hotness, idk. This project has a test directory, and you can put test files in there if you like. That's a mild pain in the ass because you'll have to go up two directories in every import (e.g. import { myAdd } from ../../src/js/adder.js). You can also just dump the test files in the src directory. My understanding is that jest doesn't care where they are, they just have to have a .test.js extension.
