Starter Kit for Building Applications in React and Redux on Pluralsight
Get Started
- Install Node 8 or newer. Need to run multiple versions of Node? Use nvm or nvm-windows(https://github.com/coryhouse/pluralsight-redux-starter/archive/master.zip)
- Navigate to this project's root directory on the command line.
- Install Node Packages. -
npm install - Install React developer tools and Redux Dev Tools in Chrome.
- Having issues? See below.
Having Issues? Try these things first:
- Run
npm install- If you forget to do this, you'll get an error when you try to start the app later. - Don't run the project from a symbolic link. It will cause issues with file watches.
- Delete any .eslintrc in your user directory and disable any ESLint plugin / custom rules within your editor since these will conflict with the ESLint rules defined in the course.
- On Windows? Open your console as an administrator. This will assure the console has the necessary rights to perform installs.
- Ensure you do not have NODE_ENV=production in your env variables as it will not install the devDependencies. To check run this on the command line:
set NODE_ENV. If it comes back as production, you need to clear this env variable. - Nothing above work? Delete your node_modules folder and re-run npm install.
