How to use

First, clone the repo.

$ git clone https://github.com/ruanyf/react-babel-webpack-boilerplate.git <yourAppName>
$ cd <yourAppName>

Important: master branch only supports Webpack 1. If you want to use Webpack 2, please switch to webpack2 branch which will be the default branch in the near future.

# only run the command when you want to use Webpack 2
$ git checkout webpack2

Second, delete the old .git history and initialize new history.

$ rm -rf .git
$ git init

Third, install the dependencies.

$ npm install

Then, launch the boilerplate app.

$ npm start

Now you should see a new browser window/tab opening and a title of "Hello World" in http://127.0.0.1:8080.

Last, You need update package.json and modify fields like name, version, description, keywords, author, license and so on to fit your project.

From there, you start to develop your own code in the app directory. When you finish coding, use npm run build or npm run deploy to build the static files.

Attention, when committing your code, you should use AngularJS's commit message convention. Otherwise, the repo will throw an error. If you use npm run commit instead of git commit, the command will help you to produce a formatted commit message.
