Javascript Starter Pack (July 2018)

An all-in-one, pre-configured NodeJS/Express starter project with scripting, transpiling, bundling, linting, testing, and CI built in.

Background

Inspired by Cory House's Pluralsight course on "Building a JavaScript Development Environment", this project is an updated version with a few key differences:

• npm audit is used instead of nsp.
• no longer using open package due to security concerns.
• various config changes with updated version of various packages.
• newer versions of most packages are used (i.e. babel, webpack etc)
