Simplest-starter-ever NPM

Simplest Starter Ever

A lightweight webpack based frontend project. My workflow consists of usually creating an HTML/CSS version first. Then I can port it to WordPress, React, or just leave it as HTML/CSS. I wanted a simple starter with just webpack, babel, and sass.

Installation

npm i -g simplest-starter-ever

Usage

simplest-starter-ever newProjectName

*where newProjectName is the name of your project.

Start Dev Server

npm run dev

Build Prod Version

npm run build

Features:

ES6 Support via babel-loader
SASS Support via sass-loader

When you run npm run build we use the extract-text-webpack-plugin to move the css to a separate file and included in the head of your index.html, so that the styles are applied before any javascript gets loaded. We disabled this function for the dev version, because the loader doesn't support hot module replacement.
