GULP or NPM commands?

Currently you can build this project either by running a gulp command or npm build command.

NPM commands

If you want to build a basic JS module and do not require to run any extra advanced tasks during build you can use npm-commands branch. Or you can remove gulpfile.babel.js file and remove the following npm modules from the project:

• babel-core
• gulp
• gulp-babel
• gulp-eslint
• gulp-mocha
• gulp-rimraf
• run-sequence

Using NPM commands

$ npm run build

$ npm test

GULP

For those who needs to run extra scripts and do other complicated tasks upon builds you can use gulp-commands branch. Or clean scripts object in package.json as well as remove the following npm modules from the project:

• rimraf
• babel-cli

Using GULP command

$ node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js

Linting?

I'm using eslint-config-airbnb for this project with my few custom modifications. You can read more on the Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide here

Important!

I commented out dist/ and test-dist folders in my ignore file on purpose to demonstrate how built files will look like. In a real project, most likely, you do not want to push those dist folders to your repo. If you do, you will constantly see changes in dist folders during your merges/code reviews which can be very annoying.
