Aurelia 2 Scaffolding skeleton

Work In Progress

The scaffolding repo for Aurelia 2 used by the makes tool to create new Aurelia 2 projects.

Create an Aurelia 2 project

There is zero-installation, just do:

npx makes aurelia

Note makes requires Node.js v8.9.0 or above.

Status

• Aurelia convention support (boilerplate free like Aurelia v1) at bundler level
• Basic app with webpack
• Basic app with dumber (successor of CLI built-in bundler. Doc WIP)
• Basic app with parcel (On hold)
  • Parcel can be done. But requires a dedicated repo (out of our mono repo) in order to write in commonjs format that Parcel wants.
  • parcel-bundler/parcel#3256
  • Parcel v2 is also very near. Might wait for the new version.
• Basic app with browserify (On hold)
  • Browserify has technical obstacle on TypeScript (tsify) TypeStrong/tsify#34 (comment)
  • There is no problem on babelify. But we will hold browserify for now.
• Basic app with FuseBox (On hold)
  • FuseBox v4 is coming, and it's a total rewrite. Wait for it before implement.
• Basic unit test setup for jest, jasmine, mocha, tape, ava
• Basic e2e test setup for cypress
• Basic e2e test setup for protractor

Development

This scaffolding skeleton is in very early stage, not quite ready for adding features. We want to keep feature set manageable as Aurelia 2 is constantly evolving.

There are some tests for this skeleton, setup in package.json. (totally not required by makes)

npm install
# test some top level makes hooks
npm test
# test all skeletons, take some time, not turned on in .travis.yml
npm run test:e2e
