choo-devtools-poc

Choo-cli created a directory structure that we've found to be optimal for slim applications and reusability.

assets/        images and fonts, if you have any
elements/      standalone application-specific elements
lib/           generalized components, should be moved out of project later
models/        choo models
pages/         views that are directly mounted on the router
scripts/       shell scripts, to be interfaced with through `npm scripts`
client.js      main application entry; programmatic manifest file
package.json   manifest file

You can use choo-cli to generate pieces of your project as you are developing. For example you can generate

Pages

$ choo generate page my-page

Models

$ choo generate model my-model

Elements

$ choo generate element my-element

npm scripts

Choo-cli was made for generating choo projects and code, and leverages npm scripts for certain project task. So in our project a set of npm scripts have already been generated that perform various tasks such as testing/serving/building/etc.

At any time you can review the complete list of npm scripts available by viewing package.json or by running the following command:

$ npm run

Here is complete list the the commands and their function

• start - start dev server at localhost:8080
• build - builds your project to deploy to a server
• test - runs unit tests, for now it will just run linting.
• lint - runs eslint against your code

So for example you can run npm start to start a dev server. You can now see your app running at localhost:8080
