live-reload-vanilla-website-template v1.0.2

live-reload-vanilla-website-template

Starter template to build a website without a front-end framework but making use of Webpack to support writing modern JavaScript (ES6+), including ES Modules and Sass.

Features

• Live reload in development
• Webpack
• Sass compilation (and minification/autoprefixing in production)
• ES6+ transpilation (and minification/uglyfication in production)
• ES Modules

Usage

• Install dependencies

yarn

• Run development server

yarn dev

Will open your default browser to http://localhost:8080/public

Webpack will watch for changes in the ./src directory and output the bundled assets to ./public/assets. In parellel, the development server will watch for changes in the ./public directory and live reload the browser.

• Build production bundles

yarn build

Will compile, minify and autoprefix Sass to CSS. Will Minify and uglify JavaScript and output the bundled assets to ./public/assets.

After building for production you can take the ./public directory and deploy it.
