A barebones/live-reloading Node.js boilerplate to get you started

Hi, everyone.

Found most nodejs boilerplates out there too bloated (express, connect, yada), dated or technologically opinionated. I am going to be creating a CLI tool similar to create-react-app to help you get started with node projects with the ease of one command. However, till then do test the boilerplate out. It's barebones, but as dev-friendly & feature-rich as possible without being a burden. Everything is optional. PRs welcome.

  • Compatible with latest LTS of node, but backwards compatible with Node 6 (you'll need to run yarn run start:legacy)
  • Forward-thinking (async / await / object spreads and the likes)
  • Debuggable (includes vscode debug config)
  • Testable (check out the test file to see cool async tests)
  • CI ready (Travis config included)
  • NVM-friendly (see .nvmrc)
  • And probably more (coverage, code quality with codacy). Would like your input
