⚙ GSAP Boilerplate
This project is used as a boilerplate for tasks in the "GSAP" course in Booost. It initializes a base application with a webpack dev server.
Includes:
- 📦 Bundling via Webpack
Available Commands
Command | Description |
---|---|
npm install |
Install project dependencies |
npm start |
Build project and open web server running project |
npm run build |
Builds code bundle with production settings (minification, uglification, etc..) |
Writing Code
After cloning the repo, run npm install
from your project directory. Then, you can start the local development
server by running npm start
.
After starting the development server with npm start
, you can edit any files in the src
folder
and webpack will automatically recompile and reload your server (available at http://localhost:8080
by default).
Code Linter
Eslint is used to ensure a unified code base. Feel free to edit the config in .eslintrc.json
as per your needs.
To run the linter and fix some problems automatically use
npm run lintfix
Customizing Template
Babel
You can write modern ES6+ JavaScript and Babel will transpile it to a version of JavaScript that you
want your project to support. The targeted browsers are set in the .babelrc
file and the default currently
targets all browsers with total usage over "1%" but excludes IE11 and Opera Mini.
"browsers": [
">1%",
"not ie 11",
"not op_mini all"
]
Webpack
If you want to customize your build, such as adding a new webpack loader or plugin (i.e. for loading CSS or fonts), you can
modify the webpack/base.js
file for cross-project changes, or you can modify and/or create
new configuration files and target them in specific npm tasks inside of package.json
.
Deploying Code
After you run the npm run build
command, your code will be built into a single bundle located at
dist/bundle.min.js
along with any other assets you project depended.
If you put the contents of the dist
folder in a publicly-accessible location (say something like http://mycoolserver.com
),
you should be able to open http://mycoolserver.com/index.html
and view your app.
