MA WEB DEVS

Boilerplate Web App

When it's time to build, you don't want to build the foundation... MA Web Devs Boilerplate is already laid out with common utilities and libraries for fast building. Based off the Yeoman teams webapp generator (Bootstrap, SASS), "MWD-BWA" has a bunch of extras baked in that you can use ES6 out the box along with tons of other cool libraries such as Firebase, Moment.js, jQuery.validation, emojiOne, D3, and on and on.

To download and install

$ cd my/projects/folder
$ git clone https://github.com/ma-web-devs/webapp-boilerplate.git
$ cd webapp-boilerplate
$ bower install
$ npm install

Awesome! Everything should be installed now. The app folder is the working directory, this is where you should build your webpage or webapp. To develop with livereload on http://localhost:9000 simply open the command line and:

$ gulp serve

When your ready to show the world your work, simply build out the final project to the dist folder by running:

$ gulp build

To exit the gulp serve process running on the ommtask hit cmd-C or ctrl+C to cancel the process.

When your ready to build your final project, simply run gulp build and the files to be uploaded to your server will be in the dist folder.
