Babel + Electron + React + Browserify + SASS application stack

Jolteon

Babel + Electron + React + Browserify + Sass application stack. Gets the stupid work done so you can actually make something.

What stupid work, exactly?

• Build your app with one command.
• Open a live-reloading instance of your app with another command.
• Lint your app using a third command.

How to get started

• npm install -g gulp-cli electron-prebuilt
• git clone https://github.com/vulpino/jolteon
• cd jolteon
• npm install

If you're on windows...

gulp package-osx will fail because symlinks. Sorry. Blame gulp-atom-electron.

Directory Structure

• Your client HTML lives in app/.
• Your client javascript lives in app/js/.
• Your client SCSS lives in app/scss.
• Your react components live in app/js/components/.
• Your electron server code lives in src/.
• Everything is programmed using Javascript, the new, cool kind (ES2015).

Building

• Build the client and server bundles: gulp build
• Watch app/ and src/ for changes and update build/ automagically: gulp watch
• Lint everything (We use StandardJS, but you can modify the .eslintrc): gulp lint
• Open up the app: gulp serve. This will also live reload everything, so don't worry about that.
• Package the app for release: gulp package.
