Supports local authentication.
Supports JSON Web Tokens and OAuth for authentication using hapi-auth-jwt2.
Watch and automatic builds using gulp, webpack, and Babel
Auto-reload using Browsersync, and nodemon
Documentation using ESDoc, and hapi-swagger for the API
Lints using ESLint, alternatively JSHint
Testing with Mocha, Chai, Sinon.js, and jsdom
Styles using Stylus
Example of a model using Sequelize
Deployments using Shipit
and many more!

You can always implement anything yourself.

Getting Started

$ npm install -g frill

NOTE: use sudo if necessary

then, the command below creates a new project from your current directory:

$ frill new appName

if you only want the front-end (for creating isomorphic flux app), use:

$ frill frontend appName

if you only want the back-end (for creating APIs with hapi), use:

$ frill backend appName

Building your app

$ npm run build

$ gulp build

building your app for release, use:

$ npm run build-release

$ gulp build --release

Run app and watch for changes

$ npm start

$ npm run watch

$ gulp

Run your app as a daemon

Start app

$ npm run service-start

Stop app

$ npm run service-stop

Restart app

$ npm run service-restart

See forever for more information.

Deploying your app

Install Shipit

$ npm install -g shipit

Configure deployments inside ./config/default.js to your environment, then

For production

$ shipit production deploy

For staging

$ shipit staging deploy

shipit (environment) pwd, shipit (environment) start, shipit (environment) stop, shipit (environment) restart is configured by default.

See Shipit and shipit-deploy for more information.

Testing your app

$ npm test

exports NODE_ENV=test automatically

$ NODE_ENV=test gulp test

IMPORTANT: You should always use test for your NODE_ENV environment variable to make sure that your production/development database will not be affected by tests
